Highlights：
• We examined an impulsive decision-making process underlying texting in class.
• Students who frequently text in class discounted opportunities to reply more.
• Discounting rates were greater without the cell phone policy than with the policy.
• Students who frequently text in class were more impulsive.
• Texting in class is fundamentally an impulsive choice.
