The competing neuro-behavioral decision systems (CNDS) model proposes that the degree to which an individual discounts the future is a function of the relative hyperactivity of an impulsive system based on the limbic and paralimbic brain regions and the relative hypoactivity of an executive system based in prefrontal cortex (PFC). The model depicts the relationship between these categorial systems in terms of the antipodal neurophysiological, behavioral, and decision (cognitive) functions that engender normal and addictive responding. However, a case may be made for construing several components of the impulsive and executive systems depicted in the model as categories (elements) of additional systems that are concerned with the metacognitive control of behavior. Hence, this paper proposes a category-based structure for understanding the effects on behavior of CNDS, which includes not only the impulsive and executive systems of the basic model but a superordinate level of reflective or rational decision-making. Following recent developments in the modeling of cognitive control which contrasts Type 1 (rapid, autonomous, parallel) processing with Type 2 (slower, computationally demanding, sequential) processing, the proposed model incorporates an arena in which the potentially conflicting imperatives of impulsive and executive systems are examined and from which a more appropriate behavioral response than impulsive choice emerges. This configuration suggests a forum in which the interaction of picoeconomic interests, which provide a cognitive dimension for CNDS, can be conceptualized. This proposition is examined in light of the resolution of conflict by means of bundling.

“…Matching theory, a laboratory-derived account of choice in dynamic environments (McDowell, 2013; Poling, Edwards, Weeden, & Foster, 2011), has been extended to the analysis of a host of socially important behaviors, such as teenage sexual activity (Bulow & Meller, 1998), social dynamics (e.g., Borrero et al, 2007), caregiver interactions with children (Rivard, Forget, Kerr, & Begin, 2014), and rates of problem behavior in educational and clinical settings (Martens & Houk, 1989). Thus, matching theory has emerged as a leading conduit of basic-applied translation in behavior analysis (Critchfield & Reed, 2009; Jacobs, Borrero, & Vollmer, 2013).…”

“…Analyzing choice behavior provides a conceptual framework to understand the interaction between environmental contingencies that bias response allocation to obtain reinforcers that maintain specific response classes (Jacobs, Borrero, & Vollmer, 2013;Hursh, Madden, Spiga, DeLeon, & Francisco, 2013). Behavioral Economic Theory (BET) is an example of a conceptual framework that has been shown to be an effective means for analyzing choice making behavior based on response effort (DeLeon et al, 1997;Green & Freed, 1993;Francisco & Madden, 2009;Hursh, 1984;Roane, Lerman, & Vorndran, 2001;Tustin, 1994).…”
