Peer reviewedAloise, Patricia A.; Miller, Patricia H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Studied 49 3 and 4 year olds in an examination of the effect of type of reward agent on children's discounting. Findings indicated that the combination of a negative valence and a particular social role accounted for the discounting of intrinsic interest. This suggests that social knowledge guides the application of the discounting schema. (SH)
