In evolutionary [[psychology]] and in cognitive [[neuroscience]], patience is studied as a [[decision]]-making problem, involving the choice of either a small reward in a short span of [[time]], or a more valuable reward after a long period of time. All [[animal]]s, humans included, discount future rewards—the present value of delayed rewards is viewed as less than the [[value]] of immediate rewards.
