Context: ## INTERPRETATION OF THE ANALYSES The parameter k has been used in hundreds of published articles to characterize delay discounting, but what is k exactly? In what follows, I will describe several possible (and nonexclusive) interpretations. First, k is a free parameter in an equation and describes how steeply value is degraded by delay. The term on the left-hand side of the equation is a dependent variable (the indifference points), and the terms on the right-hand side of the equation besides the free parameter k are the independent variables (delay and amount). Free parameters serve as higher-order dependent variables that describe in part how the other terms interact (see Nevin, 1984; Shull, 1991). One objection that behavior analysts might
