Median days to meet the amount-discrimination and impulsive-choice stability criteria, and the median omissions and response latencies in the pre- and post-training impulsive-choice assessment (Q1-Q3).

Note: DE, IE, and CONT indicate delay-exposure, immediacy-exposure, and no-training control groups, respectively. Omissions and response latencies were calculated from the last 5 sessions of the impulsive-choice assessments. There were no significant between-groups differences, though there were several within-group changes from pre- to post-training. Significant changes in bold
