Evaluation of delay discounting as a transdiagnostic research domain criteria indicator in 1388 general community adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) approach proposes a novel psychiatric nosology using transdiagnostic dimensional mechanistic constructs. One candidate RDoC indicator is delay discounting (DD), a behavioral economic measure of impulsivity, based predominantly on studies examining DD and individual conditions.
