2 Inter-temporal Choice

3 delay to reward delivery choice of delayed reward

4 Inter-temporal Choice delay to reward delivery choice of delayed reward addiction

5 Inter-temporal Choice Choice Trial Lever One Lever Two Delay (0, 10, 20, 40, 60 s) Small Reward Delivery Large Reward Delivery No Delay

13 Individual differences in inter- temporal choice in aging Simon et al 2010, Neurobiology of AgingShimp et al. in press, Neurobiol Learning & Memory

14 Individual differences in inter- temporal choice in aging Simon et al 2010, Neurobiology of Aging - individual differences don’t account for young vs. aged differences Shimp et al. in press, Neurobiol Learning & Memory

15 Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice

16 Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice –Some hippocampal functions decline with age

17 Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice –Some hippocampal functions decline with age –Age-related alterations in hippocampal neurochemical signaling

18 Age differences in inter- temporal choice Hippocampus? Hippocampus? –Hippocampus implicated in inter-temporal choice –Some hippocampal functions decline with age –Age-related alterations in hippocampal neurochemical signaling –Nicotinic cholinergic receptors?  Decline with age  Decline associated with impaired hippocampal- dependent learning/memory

19 Age differences in inter- temporal choice α4β2 nicotinic receptors Mendez et al 2013, Neuroscience

20 Age differences in inter- temporal choice What does this mean? What does this mean? –an improvement in cognitive function in aging? OR…

21 Age differences in inter- temporal choice What does this mean? What does this mean? –an improvement in cognitive function in aging? OR… –perhaps exaggerated preference for delayed gratification is not a good thing

22 Age differences in inter- temporal choice What does this mean? What does this mean? –an improvement in cognitive function in aging? OR… –perhaps exaggerated preference for delayed gratification is not a good thing Future directions Future directions –Neural/behavioral mechanisms –Longitudinal studies (behavior and neuroimaging)
