Multiple empirical investigations confirm that temporal discount rates vary significantly across the lifespan and are influenced by underlying cognitive processes and neurodevelopmental factors.
The retrieved papers provide robust support for the claim. Paper [0] demonstrates lifespan developmental changes in delay discounting linked to subjective time perception across ages 9-82. Paper [5] shows how cognitive load alters temporal discounting dynamics. Paper [7] examines delay discounting while controlling for age and cognitive factors, reinforcing the neurodevelopmental basis of intertemporal choice. No papers refute the claim.
