Sentence examples for steep delay from inspiring English sources

A review of the available studies revealed that steep delay discounting is positively correlated with problem or pathological gambling.

Thus, particularly steep delay discounting (increased impulsivity) in those with both long DRD4 and A1 DRD2 alleles may reflect the concurrent variation in two key points in the reward decision-making loops spanning the corticostriatal-mesolimbic axis.

The present study shows that ARV is found in other domains than reaction times, that it may be influenced by reinforcement contingencies, and that it might be explained by a short and steep delay gradient.

The aims of the present study is to investigate the hypothesis that a short and steep delay gradient in ADHD will result in shorter and less predictable sequences in the behaviour of children with ADHD compared to controls, and to explore an untraditional way of investigating details in behavioural change.

The present findings provide support for the dynamic developmental theory of ADHD predicting that a short and steep delay-of-reinforcement gradient will result in fewer responses in a predictable sequence than when the delay gradient is normal [ 2].

The steeper delay gradients that often characterize hyperactive organisms may be due to the greater number of events they expose themselves to during delays.

The dynamic developmental theory of ADHD [ 4] explains how ADHD symptoms, including problems with sustained attention, can result from impaired dopamine function giving rise to a steeper delay gradient and poor stimulus control of behaviour when reinforcers are infrequent.

In ADHD research there is widespread agreement that there is a reduction in the control by future rewards of current behaviour, and an increase in the extent to which they are discounted (i.e., a steeper delay of reward gradient).

The dynamic developmental theory of ADHD [ 4] explains how behavioural changes associated with ADHD may result from deficient reinforcement and extinction processes as a result of a hypofunctional dopaminergic system and a steeper delay gradient in ADHD [ 4, 186].

In males, higher endogenous testosterone predicts steeper delay-discounting behavior in low impulsive subjects, whereas testosterone reduces delay discounting in high impulsive subjects (Takahashi et al. 2006).

A narrow time window may theoretically be depicted as a shorter and steeper delay-of-reinforcement gradient (called delay gradient from here onwards).
