Heroin addicts have higher discount rates for delayed rewards than non-drug-using controls.

Kris N. Kirby, Nancy M Petry, Warren K. Bickel
Journal of experimental psychology. General
1999

Fifty-six heroin addicts and 60 age-matched controls were offered choices between monetary rewards ($11-$80) available immediately and larger rewards ($25-$85) available after delays ranging from 1… (More)

Impulsivity and cigarette smoking: delay discounting in current, never, and ex-smokers

Warren K. Bickel, Amy L. Odum, Gregory J. Madden
Psychopharmacology
1999

Rationale: Impulsivity is implicated in drug dependence. Recent studies show problems with alcohol and opioid dependence are associated with rapid discounting of the value of delayed outcomes.… (More)

Within-subject comparison of real and hypothetical money rewards in delay discounting.

Matthew Wong Johnson, Warren K. Bickel
Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior
2002

A within-subject design, using human participants, compared delay discounting functions for real and hypothetical money rewards. Both real and hypothetical rewards were studied across a range that… (More)

Impulsive and self-control choices in opioid-dependent patients and non-drug-using control participants: drug and monetary rewards.

Gregory J. Madden, Nancy M Petry, Gary J. Badger, Warren K. Bickel
Experimental and clinical psychopharmacology
1997

Delay discounting was investigated in opioid-dependent and non-drug-using control participants. The latter participants were matched to the former on age, gender, education, and IQ. Participants in… (More)

Delay discounting in current and never-before cigarette smokers: similarities and differences across commodity, sign, and magnitude.

Forest Baker, Matthew Wong Johnson, Warren K. Bickel
Journal of abnormal psychology
2003

Research has found that nicotine-dependent individuals delay discount monetary gains at a higher rate than matched controls. Delay discount rates, however, have also been found to vary across… (More)

Modeling drug consumption in the clinic using simulation procedures: demand for heroin and cigarettes in opioid-dependent outpatients.

Eric A. Jacobs, Warren K. Bickel
Experimental and clinical psychopharmacology
1999

Use of a time- and cost-efficient simulation procedure to assess reinforcement efficacy in humans was explored in the present study. Opioid-dependent outpatients completed questionnaires asking how… (More)

Toward a behavioral economic understanding of drug dependence: delay discounting processes.

Behavioral economics examines conditions that influence the consumption of commodities and provides several concepts that may be instrumental in understanding drug dependence. One such concept of… (More)

Behavioral and neuroeconomics of drug addiction: competing neural systems and temporal discounting processes.

Warren K. Bickel, Michelle L. Miller, Richard Yi, Benjamin P. Kowal, D. M. Lindquist, Jeffery A. Pitcock
Drug and alcohol dependence
2007

We review behavioral- and neuroeconomic research that identifies temporal discounting as an important component in the development and maintenance of drug addiction. First, we review behavioral… (More)

Incentives improve outcome in outpatient behavioral treatment of cocaine dependence.

Stephen T. Higgins, Alan J Budney, Warren K. Bickel, Florian E. Foerg, Robert Donham, Gary J. Badger
Archives of general psychiatry
1994

OBJECTIVE To assess whether incentives improved treatment outcome in ambulatory cocaine-dependent patients. METHOD Forty cocaine-dependent adults were randomly assigned to behavioral treatment with… (More)

Deconstructing relative reinforcing efficacy and situating the measures of pharmacological reinforcement with behavioral economics: a theoretical proposal

Warren K. Bickel, Lisa A. Marsch, Marilyn Carroll
Psychopharmacology
2000

Background: Relative reinforcing efficacy has been assumed to be a homogeneous phenomenon referring to the behavior-strengthening or behavior-maintaining effects of a drug reinforcer. However, a… (More)
