Eating a triple scoop of ice cream after each meal can be the perfect end to a meal, but over time it can add to unhealthy weight gain and result in an upset stomach. The long-term consequence of compromised health should have more bearing on behavior than the short-term pleasure of the dessert. What explains why many choose to indulge in the dessert anyway?

▸ The delayed reinforcement of the pleasurable taste of the dessert is not as powerful as the delayed reinforcement of weight gain and upset stomach.

▸ The immediate reinforcement of the pleasurable taste of the dessert is more powerful than the delayed reinforcement of weight gain and upset stomach.

▸ Most people have little willpower when it comes to dessert.

▸ Weight gain and upset stomach are not worrisome consequences.
