The delay discounting task was conducted on the subjects. This task was repeated in 35 students after 3 weeks. The ANOVA and Pearson correlation test was performed for the assessment of differential validity and test-retest reliability, respectively. <strong>Results:</strong> There was a significant difference between the educational groups and genders, at the level of p<0.05. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.71 that represents the test-retest reliability of the delay discounting test. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> According to the results of this study girls had a better performance in delay discounting than boys and this task is a reliable and valid test for the evaluation of delay discounting in children. <strong>Aim:</strong> Delay discounting, as a hot executive function, refers to a tendency toward smaller immediate rewards compered to larger delayed rewards.
