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]).
