Behavioral flexibility is an important aspect of self-regulation and involves effectively learning, unlearning, and relearning associations between actions and outcome. Using a probabilistic reversal learning paradigm (PRL), the neural correlates of flexibility have previously been associated with brain regions implicated in cognitive control, incl...

The tendency to devalue rewards when offered later in time is known as time discounting and, although universal, shows interindividual differences that are proposed to be dependent on an individual’s self-control abilities. In the current study we investigate how the neural correlates of delaying gratification during a time discounting task are ass...

Assessing individual differences in cognitive self-regulation, an effortful process that relies heavily on executive functions, has proven difficult in non-psychiatric populations. We report the results of a psychometric and a behavioural study that investigate convergent, discriminant, and predic-tive validity of three self-report measures of self...
