| Abstract |
Parent engagement in behavioral interventions is critical for treatments to succeed. Parental decision-making regarding treatments can be impacted by systematic biases, such as the tendency to discount the value of delayed benefits, or "delay discounting". This study examined the impact of delay discounting on parents' perceptions of treatment for their children's problem behavior. Seventeen caregivers of children with a developmental disability who displayed problem behaviors completed assessments in two conditions: a monetary reward paradigm and a paradigm related to treatment outcomes. Fifteen of 17 participants displayed patterns of choice-making suggesting discounting of delayed treatment outcomes. If corroborated in larger samples, our methods could afford clinicians a way to optimize their approach to caregivers to maximize the benefits of treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 64. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 December 2014.
All research outputs
#606,153
of 23,867,274 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
#187
of 5,240 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,573
of 255,971 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
#6
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,867,274 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,240 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 255,971 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
