| Notes | Includes bibliographical references and index Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed August 14, 2018) What is self-control and what is it good for? -- Varieties of self-control -- Human intertemporal choices: choosing between now and later -- Intertemporal choices by nonhuman animals -- Children's delay of gratification: how long would you wait for marshmallows? -- The reversed-reward contingency task -- why pointing away from what you want is so difficult for animals -- Would Animals Pass a Version of the marshmallow test? -- How do we know whether we are measuring self-control? Methodological concerns lead to a new test -- Is self-control like a muscle? -- Do animals flex their own self-control "muscle"? -- Are animal tests of self-control all measuring the same thing? -- Self-control and social settings -- Mental time travel: what is it, and how does it relate to self-control? -- Worth waiting for: final thoughts on self-control and the future of future-oriented research with people and animals "Self-control in animals and people takes an interdisciplinary look at what self-control is, how it works, and whether humans are alone as a species in their ability to demonstrate self-control. the book outlines historical and recent empirical approaches to understanding when self-control succeeds and fails, and which species may share with humans the ability to anticipate better future outcomes. It also provides readers with in-depth explorations of whether various species can delay gratification, the ways in which people and animals exhibit other forms of self-control, what influences the capacity and expression of self-control, and much more. In addition to its comprehensive coverage of self-control research, the book also describes self-control assessment tests that can be used with young children, adults, and a wide variety of nonhuman species, with the goal of making fair and clear comparisons among the groups."--Provided by publisher Elsevier ScienceDirect All Books HTTP:URL=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128125083 |
