Abstract

Background

Intertemporal decision-making, which involves making choices between outcomes at different time points, is a fundamental aspect of human behavior. Understanding the underlying mental processes is vital for comprehending the complexities of human decision-making and choice behavior.

Objective

The main objective of this study is to investigate the interplay of mental processes, specifically cognitive evaluation, subjective valuation, and comparison, in the context of intertemporal decision-making, with a specific focus on understanding the discounting process.

Methodology

Development of a mathematical representation of the discounting process that incorporates the mental processes associated with intertemporal decision-making.

Result

Our findings indicate that hyperbolic discounting aligns well with the cognitive processes underlying intertemporal decision-making. Subsequent research will employ qualitative questionnaires to establish the discount function relevant to specific groups, thereby enhancing our comprehension of the discounting process within intertemporal decision-making.
