O jato de ar quente como estímulo punidor em rattus norvegicus
(2005-12) CARVALHO NETO, Marcus Bentes de; MAESTRI, Thrissy Collares; TOBIAS, Gracy Kelly da Silva; RIBEIRO, Thalita Coutinho; COUTINHO, Eduarda Cristina Notargiacomo Novaes; MICCIONE, Mariana Morais; OLIVEIRA, Rita de Cássia Valente; FERREIRA, Fabiane Soraia da Silva; FARIAS, Danielle Chaves de; MOREIRA, Daniele
In experimental research on aversive control, electric shock has been predominantly used as a punisher stimulus. The present work describes the use of an apparatus that produces a hot air blast which can be an alternative stimulus to be used in research on aversive contingencies. The punishing function of the hot air blast was evaluated in both continuous (CRF) and intermittent (FR3) schedules and, in both cases, a partial suppression (98,4% and 71,15%, respectively) of the lever press responding was found, after a history of the continuous reinforcement. Suppression was bigger when the punishing stimulus was applied continuously and these data corroborate the data obtained with electric shock, described in the literature. Both the apparatus and the stimulus seemed to be appropriate from a technical and scientific perspective and the apparatus may become an attractive alternative from a financial standpoint.

The paradigm of ordinal relations provides interpretation tools that support the analysis of acquisition of ordinal academics behavior involved in math literacy. Studies investigated the effect of conditional in the visual modality on the production of sequences using the overlapping procedure. The use of conditional stimuli in the auditory modality and in combination with this procedure appears as a variable to be investigated. The general objective of this research was to investigate the production of sequences based on experimental analysis of ordinal relations in preschool children without cognitive limitations through training overlapping 2-stimulus sequences. The sessions occurred in two rooms of a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education. The computerized program PROLER (versions 6.3 and 6.4) was used for stimulus presentation on the computer screen and for recording the response of point to stimuli by the participants. Two studies were formed by three experiments each one. The first experiment examined the formation of ordinal relationship after teaching of two sequences (numerals 1 to 6 and their quantities). Experiment 2 examined the emergence of these ordinal relations under conditional control in the auditory modality. Experiment 3 aimed to investigate the extension of conditional control in auditory modality to six new numerosity stimuli over ordinal relations. In Study 1: a) all five participants had scores above the chance level on transitivity tests and mastered less than 50% of substitution test trials in Experiment 1; b) two out of the three participants responded partly and presented more than 50% accuracy in transitivity tests and there was no formation of ordinal classes by any participant in Experiment 2; c) of three participants, one achieved 100% accuracy in the pretest to Experiment 3 and two responded partially to functional reversal and transitivity tests. Study 2: a) all had scores above the chance level on transitivity and substitute tests in Experiment 1, b) all participants showed more than 50% accuracy in transitivity tests and there was no formation of ordinal classes in Experiment 2; c) all participants achieved 100% accuracy in the pretest to Experiment 3. The results were discussed in terms of better understanding of ordinal response variables under conditional control in auditory modality in preschoolers. Results prove the extension of conditional control in auditory-visual modality and ensure the principle that the effects of a variable applied to stimulus of a class extends to other members of the same class.

Variáveis de controle sobre responder ordinal: revisitando estudos empíricos

Conceptual remarks in Psychological explanation systems can be worked on by the search of the terms and defining conditions of a certain concept or phenomenon. Studies in conceptual analysis aim to verify which terms are not part of a concept, the correct application of an already existent concept, and in which contexts this concept can be applied. The aim to achieve the discrimination between classes of events and intra-class generalization. The acquisition and maintaince of behavioral chains has received the name of chaining, referring to a succession of responses in which one response produces the stimuli conditions to the next response. In can be assessed that a great part the repertoire of organisms seems to occur organized in sequence, in a continuous succession. Ordinal behavior has been studied through the examination of the effect of different variables. However, the operant literature has presented different terms to refer to the continuous flux and the succession of responses. This research had the proposal to investigate the logical behavior of some concepts about ordinal behavior by investigating the level of instrumentality through the specifications of controlling variables of procedures applied in the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. By the means of some keywords, the bibliographical material was searched in data-banks of scientific journals and books of the area. Following this, the papers were divided in six different groups, according to similarities in their titles and abstracts. At last, they were analyzed with a distinction towards the major variables in each type of procedure. 82 papers were selected; 14 national articles, 65 foreign articles, and 3 book chapters, being one national and two foreign. The descriptive analysis of the research showed that in groups 2, 5 and 6 it was possible to access information common to all studies. Besides that, it was verified that the behavior-analytical model of response chains seemed to be present in the studies of the first four groups. Therefore, the verification of the procedural variations present in the experiments made the organization and delimitation of variables involved in studies on ordinal responding possible. Such information can function as a parameter of experimental control in the development of future studies, as well as subsidize investigations that aim to verify the effects of procedural variations inside a same group over the performance found in the results of the studies. Besides, was noticed that the use of one term can be defined by the context wich knowledge is produced, because the sources of the scientific term are results of complexity of one social context that produce changes in way to see a certain study object.
