Rather, gorging himself would serve to effectively bridge the frequent periods when food was scarce. Evolution therefore has given pigeons, people, and all other animals a strong desire for immediate rewards and an even stronger tendency to avoid immediate pain. A rat for instance will choose to receive a train of 4 or 5 electric shocks delayed by 10 seconds rather than a single shock delivered immediately (Hineline, 1977). 9 Hence our ambivalence. What can we do about that ambivalence? In future chapters I will examine this question as it applies to complex ambivalence.

2. As delay increases from zero, present value decreases monotonically (as D increases, v decreases). 3. As delay approaches infinity, present value approaches zero (as D→∞, v→0). 1 has a fourth property, very important with respect to selfcontrol. It implies that two discount functions with the same interest rate r cannot cross. At the savings bank, compound interest is always based on the total amount in an account at the time the interest is calculated. In calculating compound interest, the bank can ignore how much was originally deposited and when it was deposited.

The experimenters observe how long each child waits before signaling. 7 Older children, more intelligent children, better-behaved children, children with richer parents, and children from more industrialized countries wait longer than younger children, less intelligent children, children with poorer parents, and children from less industrialized countries. There must be some relation between delay of gratification as studied by Mischel and self-control as studied by Green, Fry, and Myerson. It would not be parsimonious to regard the two highly correlated experimental procedures as separate processes.
