Effects of Visual Attention on Intertemporal Choice
Consumers discount delayed outcomes. We hypothesized that this happens partially because people attend primarily to immediate outcomes; and that shifting attention towards future outcomes reduces discounting. Across three experiments, participants cued to visually attend to future rewards discounted future rewards less than participants cued towards immediate rewards and control participants.
