“…The results provide good psychometric support for the hyperbolic discounting construct. Discount curves were described better by a hyperbolic decay function than by an exponential function, consistent across all conditions, and further solidified the evidence that supports the essential shape of the discounting function (e.g., Green, Myerson, & McFadden, 1997;Kirby & Marakovi , 1996;Madden et al, 1999). Furthermore, the $1,000 reward was discounted more than the $10,000 reward was, consistent with past magnitude effects (Chapman & Winquist, 1998;Kirby, 1997;Vuchinich & Simpson, 1998).…”
