Spearman's correlations between the discount rates in delay discounting (kd), probability discounting (kp), and decay rate of SP (ksp)

Probability discounting (kp) Decay rate of SP (ksp)
Delay discounting (kd) rho(27) = 0.20, p = 0.30 rho(24) = 0.467*, p = 0.016
Probability discounting (kp) rho(25) = -0.01, p = 0.976

A significant correlation between delay discounting and decay rate of SP was observed (Spearman's rank-order correlation, *:p < 0.05). Note that a (hyperbolic) decay rate of SP (subjective probability of obtaining a delayed reward) as a function of delay (ksp) is defined in SP(D) = 1/(1+kspD) (see [13]).
