Instead, we propose that impulsivity can be best defined at the behavioral level as a failure to inhibit the occurrence of behaviors that are maladaptive. According to this approach, maladaptive impulsive behaviors may occur because of a number of different underlying behavioral processes. In this chapter, we have identified three possibilities, delay discounting, response inhibition, and lapses of attention. It seems likely that there are other underlying behavioral processes that may also lead to the occurrence of impulsive behavior.
