Chronic exposure to delayed reinforcement has been shown to increase choice for larger, later reinforcement in a subsequent delay discounting task. In the 3 experiments presented in this paper, the opposite was tested: effects of chronic exposure to immediate reinforcement on choice in a subsequent delay discounting task. In Experiment 1, larger, later reinforcement choice was significantly reduced as a result of exposure to immediate reinforcement, compared to a maturation/handle control group, in experienced, male Lewis rats. In Experiment 2, with naive male and female Wistar rats, and Experiment 3, with naïve male Long Evans rats, the impact of exposure to immediate reinforcement was less robust, but directionally consistent with results from Experiment 1. These results align with some previous work reporting that exposure to immediate reinforcement may decrease choice for larger, later reinforcement in a delay discounting task, and/or blunt maturational increases in choice for larger, later reinforcement. These findings have implications for future research investigating experience-based interventions to manipulate delay discounting behavior. They also have clinical implications for understanding and treating disorders involving maladaptive choice.
