DELAY DISCOUNTING (DD) TASK FOR MICE
Model 89552
DETAILS
As a measure of impulsivity, the Delay Discounting Task (DD) measures how long the rodent is prepared to wait for a larger reward.
How does it work?
Two stimuli positions are set up with one position giving a small reward after a short delay and the other offering a larger reward after a longer delay. Position, delay, and reward are set by user with the reward positions remaining constant throughout the experiment.
The experiment is split into 4 groups of 12 trials, each group having a progressively longer delay for the larger reward.
