PACHECO CAMACHO, Marcelo Pablo et al. Saving patterns and inhibitory control: a study within behavioral neuroeconomics. Revista de Psicologia [online]. 2021, n.25, pp.37-56. ISSN 2223-3032.

Abstract Neuroeconomics is one of the cognitive and behavioral based neurosciences that has undergone a substantial growth in experimental, theoretical and methodological terms within the last 20 years. Its capacity to combine brain health factors such as an adequate inhibitory control (that necessarily will influence gratification delay) with economic-related behaviors such as saving, may generate a new axis of development of the mental health in psychology students of the Higher University of San Andres in La Paz, Bolivia. As a matter of fact, there is robust evidence that gratification delay executed in order to get a greater good constitutes in and on itself an accurate predictor of academic performance as well as positive life skills. This study is the first to be conducted on this area in the psychology undergraduate program and could be a potential contribution to the enhancement of the psycho-emotional health of the students who participated in it.  

Palabras clave : Gratification Delay; Inhibitory Control; Neuroeconomics; Saving; Greater.
