Figure 12.<br />
The subjective value <strong>of</strong> probabilistic $200 and $5,000 rewards (expressed as a proportion <strong>of</strong><br />
their nominal amounts) plotted as a function <strong>of</strong> the odds against their receipt (left graph), and<br />
the subjective value <strong>of</strong> delayed $200 and $5,000 rewards as a function <strong>of</strong> the time until their<br />
receipt (right graph). The curved lines represent the hyperbola-like discounting function<br />
(Equation 3 in the left graph and Equation 5 in the right graph) fit to the data. Data are from<br />
