Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adesão ao tratamento anti-retroviral por cuidadores de crianças e adolescentes soropositivos de uma Unidade de Saúde do Estado do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-02) BRANCO, Caroline Mota; FERREIRA, Eleonora Arnaud Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6600933695027723The adhesion to treatment has been receiving a lot of attention in Health´s Psychology these years. Studies in this area reveal that the patients who don't take part in the treatment cannot receive benefits of therapeutical intervention. The literature about adhesion in the anti-retroviral´s treatment reveals that is the caretaker who usually has the responsibility for managing soropositive children and teenager´s treatment. This study aims to describe the standard adhesion of caretakers treatment who live in the State of Pará, identifying the variables that interfere in their participation. It still reveals the types of cope strategies used to deal with the adverse conditions of soropositivity. For that, it was carried out a descriptive study, of transverse cut, with 30 caretakers, enrolled in the “Unidade de Referência Materno-infantil e Adolescente do Estado do Pará” (UREMIA), using, as instruments of data collection, an interview with caretakers - which investigated socialdemografic, clinical and psicosocial children and teenager's aspects - and the “Escala Modos of Enfrentamento de Problemas” (EMEP). Concerning to caretakers participation, it was observed that some conditions facilitated the treatment´s adhesion. Those conditions were related to varied of family organization (such as the number of people that lived in a house), to the history of treatment interruption and the self-report of caretakers about the fulfilment standard which should be emitted about the success (or failure) of the adhesion. The influence of those varied demonstrated the influence of behavior control made by rules, because the caretakers emitted the fulfillment standard classified as "adhesion" in order to avoid being in contact with the aversive consequences of the non-continuation of the treatment. Concerning to the cope strategies, it was showed a major grade for Factor 3, emphasizing the use of strategies focused on religious practices and/or imaginative thoughts. This research verified that the caretakers of the sample avoided thinking about the soropositivity problem as it is really constituted, using religious thoughts or "magic" to continue working with the daily routine of the subject coping, which involved the condition of children and teenager’s soropositivity. Based on all this data, this research suggests that more studies should be carried out in order to investigate themes related to the function of social contigences about the behavior of children and teenager’s caretakers from Pará, and also investigate aspects concerned to the diagnosis revealing.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adesão ao tratamento da malária: um estudo em comunidades do entorno da Usina Hidrelétrica de Tucuruí - Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) ROCHA, Maria de Nazaré Almeida; FERREIRA, Eleonora Arnaud Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6600933695027723Malaria, infectious disease, caused by the protozoan Plasmodium, transmitted to humans by the bite of female mosquito of the genus Anopheles. Currently puts at risk 40% of the world population. In Brazil occurs mainly in the Amazon region where they are concentrated 99.7% of cases. In communities located around the lake of Tucuruí the occurrence of malaria is high and the residents do not have efficient services that provide appropriate prophylaxis and therapy. This research has the purpose of examining the occurrence of conduct of accession to drug treatment and prevention of malaria in people living in the surrounding communities of the Tucuruí hydroelectric power, state of Para, through comparison of three conditions for intervention: Timing ( n = 10), Monitoring (n = 9) and Monitoring with information (n = 10). To quantitatively assess the effects of intervention in the conduct adopted three conditions were compared by non-parametric statistical methods: the Chi-square test and Binomial test. It was previously set the significance level alpha = 0.05 to reject the null hypothesis. The adherence to treatment and the conditions Routine Monitoring was marginal, however, in the condition Monitoring with information was found that after the intervention 80% of the participants joined significantly (p <0.05) to treatment, demonstrating, effectiveness of intervention. As to the knowledge of malaria, in the condition Monitoring with information when compared with other conditions, after intervention, was obtained p-value = 0.0466 (significant) indicating that the intervention promoted increase in the level of knowledge of participants on malaria. The analysis of change in the behavioral repertoire was held in thirteen items. Results have been achieved more success in then condition Monitoring with information on nine items was observed significant change of attitude of the participants, highlighting the fact that these nine items the p-value <0.05 was certificate as evidence of statistical significance of this conclusion. The comparison between the conditions Monitoring and Monitoring with information presented significant difference in eight items. There was a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) in the following items: Use mosquito net, notify the officer of health, keep the trees pruned or cut, not bathing in the river in times of danger, Wear clothes suitable for enter the forest, Use appropriate clothing for fishing, not staying at night and Use repellents as andiroba or similar. In summary, the intervention was successful to contribute to effective treatment of malaria and increase the level of knowledge about the disease.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adoção tardia de gêmeos: estudo de caso de uma família adotante(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-03-06) OLIVEIRA, Márcia Luzia Silva de; PEDROSO, Janari da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4096274367867186; MAGALHÃES, Celina Maria Colino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695449937472051The research describes the transition from conjugality for adoptive parenthood of twins, at the age of three and half years. Based on the structural theory of systemic aimed to analyze the relationship of a couple age 50-63 years old, so, identify the reasons, routines and changes after adoption. It was used as instruments Semi-structured Interviews, Genogram Interviews, Routine Inventory and Daily Field. From the reports were taken two axis: “The couple: characteristics and performance” and “The adoptive family: couple and routine care of the twins.” The main results indicate that since the beginning of the relationship, the couple already experiencing several transitions. It appears that after the adoption, the role of parenting creates a period of conflict, crisis, difficulty in orienting, educating, establishing rules and limits children who lived institutionalized since seven months. It can be seen in the role of wife overload in child care, the family has the support of a cooperating in housework and childcare. In addition, the couple faces some prejudices of society in general, and those closest to the decision to adopt older children. It is noteworthy that need psychological support families adopters during and after late adoption process and the importance of longitudinal study.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise da competição entre os efeitos de consequências imediatas e efeitos de justificativas sobre o seguimento de regras(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-18) FARIAS, Andréa Fonseca; ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Carlos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5261537967195189This study aimed to investigate the effects of rules with additional justifications of Type 1 (reports about possible consequences of rule governed behavior) and Type 2 (reports about eventual approval or not, of the rule following) on the maintenance of rule governed behavior, after a change in programmed contingencies when this behavior starts to produce loss of reinforcer (points exchangeable for cash). To this end, 44 participants were exposed to a matching to sample procedure. The task was to point to each of the three comparison stimuli in a given sequence. Each comparison stimulus had only one dimension - color (C), thickness (T) or shape (S) - in common with the sample and differed on all other dimensions. Experiment included six conditions. Each condition was composed of four phases. Phases 1 and 3 started with the presentation of a rule related to programmed contingencies, while Phases 2 and 4 were marked by an unsignaled change, in such contingencies. Phases 1 and 3 differed only as to the justifications presented to rule following. The maintenance of the rule governed behavior avoided loss of the programmed reinforcer in Phases 1 and 3, and produced such loss in Phases 2 and 4. Overall, results showed that rules with justifications can alter the probability of the behavior specified by them to occur in the future. The role of control by rules in the explanation of behavior was discussed.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise da comunicação sonora do Curió Oryzoborus angolensis (Aves, Passeriformes, Emberizidae)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-06-29) LOPES, João dos Prazeres; SILVA, Maria Luisa da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2101884291102108The Seed-finch Oryzoborus angolensis (Aves, Passeriformes, Oscines, Emberizinae) is very a popular and appreciated species birdkeepers in Brazil, due to its melodious and varied song. The song represents the species-specific recognition signal for the most of the birds. Songs with long vocal repertoires, population and individual variations can be indicatives of vocal learning. In this context, we studied the song of the Lesser seed finch Oryzoborus angolensis. The song of O. angolensis is characterized as a sequence of pure notes organized and repeated in discrete phrases. We analyze the song of 26 individuals, 16 in captivity and 10 wild from different localities of their distribution area. The measures of physical parameters of the notes (note duration, note interval, rhythm, minimum and maximum frequency) presented significant global differences, considered here the characters that represents the species-specific code. We observe that the notes are constituted mainly by widely modulated pure sounds and are distributed in homogeneous way in our sample. We have found significant differences between the repertoire of the individuals kept in captivity and wild.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aplicação de tentativas discretas por cuidadores para o ensino de habilidades verbais a crianças diagnosticadas com autismo(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08-25) SILVA, Álvaro Júnior Melo e; BARROS, Romariz da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7231331062174024The cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are characterized by persistent deficits in communication and social interaction in multiple contexts. The diagnosis of ASD also involves the presence of repetitive behavior and restricted interests. Considering the need of intervention and the lack of qualified professionals to implement intervention the purpose of this study was to verify the effects of parent-implemented teaching programs (VI) on the performance of children (VD). Participants included three children diagnosed with autism and their respective caregivers. Through a multiple probe design, the independent variable (IV) was selectively implemented on each of the teaching programs. Caregivers carried out the intervention at home and had their performance, and the performance of their children, was evaluated in sessions conducted in the room of the APRENDE Project/UFPA. Their performance was monitored during every session. Two or more programs were selected for each child. Participant 1 reached criterion for performance accuracy in the following programs: "Tact of Actions", "Mand with Autoclitic", and "Intraverbal of Personal Informations" after 7, 13, 19 sessions, respectively. Participant 2 needed 24 to 48 sessions and the Participant 3, 5 to 38 sessions to achieve accuracy in the programs. Data show that the intervention via caregiver, guided by a behavior analyst, can be effective and appropriate to the social-economic context of Brazil, characterized by lack of governm.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aplicação de um programa de ensino de leitura e construção de sentenças para crianças com autismo(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-09-28) PAIXÃO, Glenda Miranda da; ASSIS, Grauben José Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0722706223558223Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by significant disturbances in communication, social interaction and other children's behavior. These disturbances may restrict the development of equivalent stimulus classes, which may hinder the development of repertoires such as reading and writing. To prevent or remedy difficulties in developing these repertoires, behavior analysis studies have applied the Constructed Response Matching to Sample (CRMTS) procedure, in which is required pairing response to the model from the selection of stimuli that compose it. Using this procedure, a series of three studies were conducted with three children diagnosed with ASD, in which were gradually taught to build words and sentences of two to five components and tested the textual reading and reading with comprehension and, as well as the construction of new sentences. The stimuli used were visual and auditory responses and the observation and selection responses got along from the touch on the computer screen. Two children showed textual reading and comprehension, in addition to the widespread construction of three and five terms sentences, showing maintenance of the repertoire after fifteen and thirty days. One child showed textual reading and comprehension, and general construction of sentences with two terms. A fourth participant was exposed to the teaching procedure, which is applied by the mother, showing textual and comprehension reading, and general construction of sentences with five terms, also demonstrating maintenance. The data indicate that there was equivalence classes and ordinal classes formation, maintaining these repertoires even after a period without exposure to tasks for children diagnosed with ASD.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aplicações da formação de classes de equivalência na intervenção analítico-comportamental ao autismo(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08-22) SILVA, Álvaro Júnior Melo e; BARROS, Romariz da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7231331062174024The applied potential of the current knowledge on equivalence class formation has much to be explored. There are few studies reported in the literature involving, for example, equivalence of stimuli applied to autism. In this thesis, in addition to the application of stimulus equivalence technology, there is the search for approximation of two areas of study, equivalence of stimuli and verbal behavior, which, in different ways, have approached the phenomenon commonly called language. In the two studies here presented it was investigated the contribution of the equivalence stimulus for the emergence of intraverbal relations in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Study 1 evaluated the emergence of intraverbal relations via equivalence-based instruction. Two children with ASD participated in the study. After the teaching of listener relations (AB) and tact (BC), the emergence of intraverbal relations (AC and CA) was verified. The data show that participant Lucia presented the immediate emergency of AC intraverbal relations and the other participant, Lucas, presented low accuracy of performance in the first session and maximum precision in the second session. Lucas’ performance pattern may be considered compatible with delayed emergence of intraverbal relations consistent with the equivalence class formation. At the same time, such data allowed us to question whether or not the observed performance was a result of rapid acquisition of the intraverbal relations due to the prompt provided during the test/training. Study 2 explored this issue, evaluating the acquisition of consistent and inconsistent intraverbal relations with equivalence class formation. The two children of the Study 1 participated in Study 2. After teaching of listener relations (A1B1, A2B2, A3B3, and A4B4) and tact (B1C1, B2C2, B3C3, and B4C4), participants were exposed to consistent intraverbal relations (A1C1, A2C2, C1A1, and C2A2) and inconsistent (A3C4, A4C3, C4A3, and C3A4) with formation of equivalence class formation. The data showed that there was only the acquisition of the consistent relations with class formation for the participant Lucia. For Lucas there was no difference in the acquisition of both types of relations in AC training and there was a slight difference in the acquisition of AC relations, so that consistent intraverbal relations with class formation were learned in fewer sessions or attempts. From Lucia's data, mainly, it can be concluded that an earlier history involving the stimuli of a current relation to be trained facilitates the acquisition of this case the previous contingencies have favored the relation between the stimuli as members of a set or class. Lucas’ data also confirm the initial assumption on the possibility of fast acquisition during test with programmed reinforcement and corrective prompting. The data obtained in this thesis not only prove the applicability of the equivalence of stimuli, but also can encourage new research to use stimulus equivalence as a behavioral technology.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aprendizagem observacional em crianças com autismo: efeitos do ensino de respostas de monitoramento via videomodelação(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-07-22) BRASILIENSE, Izabel Cristina da Silva; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1264063598919201Has been pointed that video-modeling seems to promote the observational learning in individuals with Autism, included verbal repertories. However individuals with Autism often exhibit difficulty to learn by observing the actions of others. One method to provide observational learning it is previous training of monitoring pair’s actions. Nevertheless, monitoring training studies has been accomplished in-vivo pairs, making them more expensive and committing experimental control. This study investigated the possibility of establishing monitoring response via video-modeling. Furthermore, investigated if observational learning of tacts and textual could emerge by acquisition of monitoring repertory. Two children with autism participated. Observational learning tests via video-modeling were performed. Then the tact monitoring training via videomodeling was implemented in three steps: (1) teaching of monitoring behavior; (2) attempt to the model’s responses and (3) attempt to the model’s response consequence, not knowing the objects’ tacts. Afterwards, tests for tacts and textual were conducted via video-modeling. Two children acquire monitoring repertory in four sessions, indicating that monitoring training via video-modeling can be an effective and economic alternative for monitoring training. The acquisition of monitoring repertory beneficed the acquisition of tact and textual via observational learning for one of the participants. It is discussed the potential effects of video-modeling to train precurrent behaviors necessary for observational learning and the necessity of continuing researchxii in this area for better comprehension of variables that influence the acquisition of observational learning.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Associação entre sintomas de desconforto psicológico em idosos brasileiros e fatores sócio demográficos durante a pandemia da COVID-19(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-08-04) GRANHEN, Yana Wanzeller; PEDROSO, Janari da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4096274367867186; http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7602-834X; MAGALHÃES, Celina Maria Colino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695449937472051The context of the global pandemic of COVID-19 emerged the vulnerability of the elderly public from the psychological consequences under the analysis of the Life Span perspective, which understands the developmental trajectory in a continuous, contextual, multidimensional, and multidirectional way concerning genetic-biological and sociocultural influences. The study aimed to investigate the association between socio-demographic factors and symptoms of psychological distress in the elderly during the pandemic context of COVID-19. The research has an exploratory nature and was carried out with a sample of 289 elderly Brazilians, aged over 60 years, recruited through the snowball technique, by virtual means (social networks and e-mail). The results obtained indicated a sample mostly female, with schooling ranging from 13 to 18 years old, Christian-Catholic religion, cohabiting with adult members, family income higher than 1,200 reais and occupation of the retirement type. The most frequent symptoms of psychological discomfort were restlessness, insomnia, muscle tension, and the urge to cry in males, family income between 900 and 1.200 reais, and house size smaller than 50 m²; on the other hand, there was no significant relation between religion, family structure, and the number of persons per family. We conclude that there was a significant association between socio-demographic and psychological factors, which indicates that the elderly focus on emotional type coping strategies, being anxiety symptoms the most prominent which suggests a perception about the loss of control about the future and physical vulnerability facing a stressful context.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) As atividades de vida diária de crianças em situação de acolhimento institucional(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-03-04) VASCONCELOS, Thamires Bezerra de; CAVALCANTE, Lília Iêda Chaves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4743726124254735This research aimed to analyze the activities of daily living (ADLs) of children in situations of institutional care, discussing the importance of systematic evaluation of this type of activity and the critical role that caregivers may have in gaining greater autonomy in personal care and the acquisition of various skills. Comprising two interlinked studies in the first part (study I) provides a characterization of scientific literature on the assessment of activities of daily living in different contexts, covering research methods and instruments used for this purpose. The observed results showed a prevalence of use of standardized assessment instruments, and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), most often found in the literature reviewed. Despite these developments in evaluation methods, there was little or no attention to the contexts of ADL performance, placing greater emphasis on the characteristics of the person, as the presence of limiting pathologies. In this direction, the second study presents a description of the levels of assistance provided by the ADL that involve educators, specifically, children who live in a host institution and incentive strategies used by caregivers dealing with their routines for each able to perform them in the most autonomous and efficient way possible. This description used categories inspired in part II of the PEDI, the Caregiver Assistance. The results showed a higher level of assistance in activities of hygiene and clothing compared to data obtained in feeding activities. Is attributed these findings to routine institutional and personal traits of the participants involved. We conclude that, in the institutional context, the highest level of service observed may have a different meaning than would be expected in a family environment. This higher level of attention and support checked could mean, on the one hand, more educators moments of interaction with the child, this can be a positive aspect in an environment that tends to be marked by the treatment depersonalized and rigid routines. And another, less opportunity for the child to develop from a greater degree of autonomy in ADL, which may have negative implications for the course of development. The importance of assessing ecological and cast a glance to the daily activities of children in residential institutions makes this research is located in order to contribute to a better understanding of the development in this specific context, since it, often have their first experiences of self-care. The results can guide and reflections indicated the formation of programs to optimize resources and opportunities present in the routines of self-care in this environment of institutional care.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da adequação dos níveis de funcionalidade do VB-MAPP em uma amostra de crianças brasileiras.(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06-26) KEUFFER, Sara Ingrid Cruz; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1264063598919201The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) is a criteria-based assessment tool that can be used as a curriculum guide and repertoire development monitoring system for children with autism and other developmental disorders. The three levels of VB-MAPP were established from typical child development milestones derived primarily from studies with US or European children. Considering the socioeconomic and cultural differences that exist between the United States/Europe and Brazil, this study analyzed the adequacy of VB-MAPP functional levels for the evaluation of verbal, social and motor repertoires of a sample of 61 Brazilian children with typical development, living in Belém do Pará, of both sexes and aged between one and five years. The results showed that the functional levels proposed in the VB-MAPP were adequate to evaluate repertoires of a sample of Brazilian children with typical development, increasing the data on the external validity of the instrument. Based on these results it is suggested the relevance of the use of VB-MAPP in the Brazilian context.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação de simetria por comparação de treinos de emparelhamento ao modelo sucessivo (go/no-go)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09-16) PICANÇO, Carlos Rafael Fernandes; BARROS, Romariz da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7231331062174024Successive matching-to-sample (go/no-go) has been pointed out as an effective procedure to reduce stimulus control digressions in conditional relation training with non-humans. Other studies suggest the comparison between (symmetrical and non symetrical) conditional discrimination acquisition curves as a way to evaluate properties of equivalence relations. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of using both procedures above mentioned in evaluating the property of symmetry in four capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp). Stimulus presentation, activation of devices, and response recording were automatically controlled by software. Subjects were maintained under conditions approved by IBAMA. By mean of an “ABAB” single subject design, the acquisition of symmetrical (A) and non-symmetrical (B) conditional discriminations were compared. In both Condition A and B, conditional relations A-B and B-A were simultaneously trained so that in every condition, four new arbitrary conditional discriminations (with new stimuli arbitrarily related) were presented. When symmetrical, positive combinations were A1-B1, A2 B2, B1-A1, and B2-A2, and negative combinations were A1 B2, A2 B1, B1 A2 and B2 A1. When non-symmetrical, positive combinations were A1 B1, A2 B2, B1 A2, and B2 A1, and negative combinations were A1 B2, A2 B1, B1 A1 e B2 A2. Two of the four subjects (Negão e Bongo) completed que acquisition of one (Bongo) or two (Negão) sets of conditional relations (Conditions A-symmetrical and B-non-symmetrical) for the evaluation of the viability of the procedure to verify the property of symmetry. Data demonstrate that the method here reported detected the presence of the property of symmetry in the conditional relations leraned by Negão and its absence in the conditional relations learned by Bongo. Data are inconclusive for the other two subjects. One detailed analysis of the performance of each subject and its measures is also presented.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação de um sistema on-line de instrução personalizado na aprendizagem conceitual e procedimental de professores da educação especial(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-01-30) COSTA, Malena Russelakis Carneiro; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1264063598919201Behavior-analytic procedures have been identified as effective for training teachers working in special education. However, most are implemented in a face-to-face and individualized manner, leading to a lower cost-benefit ratio compared to online training. This study evaluated the efficacy of a Personalized Online Instruction System (POIS) in teaching declarative knowledge about autism diagnosis, basic concepts of Behavior Analysis, and the implementation of three behavior-analytic procedures (Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement Preference Assessment, Brief Functional Analysis, and Functional Communication Training) to thirty-five special education teachers. All teachers completed the POIS modules, organized sequentially and individually, including video instruction, written material, and written and computerized feedback. Progression between modules was contingent on meeting minimum performance criteria in posttests. Nine participants underwent generalization tests to verify the practical application of procedural knowledge in simulated trials with confederates. These tests involved implementing the three learned behavior-analytic procedures, assessing the accuracy of correct responses. Results indicated that the POIS was effective in teaching declarative knowledge. However, in the generalization test, no participant met the criterion to independently implement the procedures, thus requiring additional training with feedback. This study contributes to the development of efficient and accessible teacher training methodologies, which highlights the importance of combining online instructional systems with in-person strategies to maximize learning and practical application of behavior-analytic repertoires in special education.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliando a alteração da função de faces via equivalência de estímulos e pareamento de estímulos tipo respondente (ReT) em crianças com TEA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-04-28) BORDA, Gisell Andrea Díaz; SILVA, Álvaro Júnior Melo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8960291779730857; BARROS, Romariz da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7231331062174024; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1306-384XChildren with atypical development may have deficient face observation behavior. This deficit may explain, in part, some of their difficulties in social interaction and acquisition of complex behavior such as the verbal repertoire. The present dissertation explored the effect of two types of procedures: equivalence-based instruction and stimulus pairing, on the alteration of face functions measured by preference tests for human faces figures and duration of human face observation responses in social tests. The behavioral processes involved in face observation responses in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were researched in the two studies presented here. Experiment I, evaluated the effect of equivalence-based instruction on the potential transfer of function from preference figures items to figures of human faces and properly human faces. Three children diagnosed with ASD participated in the study. A Pre-test and post-test design was used, with multiple baseline temporal controls, divided into three phases: a) Pre-test: assessment of the choice responses and face observation, b) Intervention: equivalence class formation via identity matching with class-specific consequences, c) Post-test: repetition of measurements made in Pre-test phase. Results demonstrated that, despite the difficulty in documenting the emergence of conditional relations that prove properties of equivalence relations (only symmetry was obtained for two of the three participants), changes in choice responses to figures of human faces was evidenced in two participants. One of the participants showed also changes in social tests. However, in the reinforcement phase of the conditional relations of this study, there was pairing between stimuli: access to a high magnitude preference item is preceded by the presentation of a visual stimulus (figures of human faces). Therefore, Study II assessed the possible effect of this pairing alone on the function of faces in children diagnosed with ASD. Two children who did not participate in Study I took part in Study II. An intra-subject design comparing Pre-test and Post-test measures was implemented, organized in a multiple probe schedule between participants, divided into three phases: a) Pre-test; b) Intervention: respondent-type (ReT) pairing between pictures of faces and highly preferred item and between an abstract figure and a lower preferred item, and c) Post-test: repetition of Pre-test measures as described in Study I. Study II, therefore, was complementary to Study I. The results in Study II show alteration of responding to faces in preference tests and social tests for one of the two participants. The data obtained in this dissertation add basic research knowledge to identify behavioral processes involved in the human facial observational responses, as well as provide relevant information to the area of Applied Behavior Analysis to the intervention of children who have difficulties in attention to faces. The procedures explored point to the use of methodological strategies to alter the function of the faces and show the potential of the stimulus equivalence paradigm in altering observation responses.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliando e ensinando técnicas da taxonomia Lemov para professores do ensino fundamental(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06-26) MARTINS, Jade Cristine Trindade; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1264063598919201The literature on Behavior Analysis may contribute to the educational system, despite the little influence exerted in pedagogical practice. The performance of the students is functionally related to that of the teacher, making important the investment in professional training. The Lemov taxonomy cataloged teaching techniques based on the behaviors of teachers with students with excellent academic performance, presenting similarity with the behavioral perspective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the training of Lemov taxonomy techniques with four elementary school teachers. A pre and post-training record was made of the occurrences of the techniques in the classroom, and trained the techniques ‘No opt out’ and ‘Stretch it’, containing booklets and role-play with feedback, components of behavioral skills training. After intervention there were few occurrences of the trained techniques, but there was an increase in related techniques, indicating a partial effect on teachers’ behaviors. The need for in situ training, modeling and simplification of training criteria are discussed.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Bem estar em cativeiro: análise e planejamento da ocupação do tempo em macacos-prego (Cebus apella)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) LESSA, Miguel Angelo Monteiro; GALVÃO, Olavo de Faria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7483948147827075Foraging is one of the most important activities and consuming great part of the day time of neotropical primates in the natural environment. In the wild, Capuchins spend up to 80% of their time traveling and foraging in the search for food. On the other side, in captivity no effort is usually required to obtain food. Therefore the opportunity to express foraging activities becomes virtually excluded in captivity. The main objective of this work was to create and evaluate the effectiveness of an environmental enrichment tool called “bowlboard”, designed to difficult access, extending the time devoted to reach food. The observation was carried through in four different contexts, being one in the morning and three in the afternoon, using a focal animal sampling method. The relative duration of each behavioral event was compared in the absence and presence of the enrichment. It was found that the bowller extended foraging time, functioning as instrument of environmental enrichment. A considerable lowering in frequency of abnormal behaviors, while search and manipulation of food was more time consuming.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Bem-estar de macacos-prego no cativeiro: engenharia comportamental no enriquecimento ambiental e análise da dinâmica espacial.(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-03-25) LESSA, Miguel Angelo Monteiro; GALVÃO, Olavo de Faria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7483948147827075; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9912-3833Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus ssp.) in captivity have few opportunities to perform characteristics skills of these monkeys in the natural environment. The responsibility for the welfare of the capuchin monkeys living in the Experimental School for Primates poses the task of finding healthier living conditions. The objective is to build captive environment conditions functionally similar to the natural environment, using physical, foraging, cognitive and social environmental-enrichment techniques. Aditionally, interested in knowing about the social relations within the spatial interactions it is proposed to describe the relationships in terms of inter-individual spatial proximity and preferred heights in different groups of Sapajus spp. kept in captivity. Fourteen individuals of four groups of three institutions were observed in three different contexts: before, during and after feeding. The positions of each individual were recorded using the scan sampling method. The results showed a pattern of inter-distance between different dyads of animals in study groups. The monkeys were closer after feeding and far before and during feeding. Differences among preferred places were also observed. The dominant monkeys spent more time in places that were most attractive. The subordinate monkeys spent more time on the opposite and less attractive places in relation to the place occupied by the dominant. The overall pattern of interindividual spacing was similar to that observed in nature, male capuchin monkeys showed a characteristic avoidance and no approximation.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Brasileiros na Alemanha: processos de adaptação, estresse e resiliência(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-02-24) TORRES, Clauber Wellington Pinheiro; PONTES, Fernando Augusto Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1225408485576678Migration is a process of ecological transition that drastically interferes with human development involving change of environment, social relations, perceptions about oneself and time. In addition, it is a process influenced by various social, economic, or political aspects that immerse the immigrant in a potentially risky yet challenging environment that mobilizes him for resources to overcome adversity. In this sense, this dissertation had as main objective to identify which aspects related to the migratory context are perceived as stress-generating elements and resilience promoters, relevant in the process of adaptation of Brazilian immigrants living in Germany. Two exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative studies were carried out. The first one focused on describing the perception of stress and resilience of Brazilian immigrants who chose to live in Germany. The study was attended by one hundred and eleven Brazilians living in Germany, who were assigned PSS14 to assess stress and CD-RISC for resilience. The results indicated negative correlations between stress and resilience. The second study aimed to describe the perception of Brazilian immigrants in Germany about their adaptation process. One hundred and thirteen people participated through an online interview through a virtual platform. The results indicated that the immigrants encountered several challenges, highlighting the use of language, culture, climate and interaction with the Germans. These studies can contribute to increase knowledge about Brazilian immigrants, their relationships and how they perceive the contexts in which they live far from their country of origin.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Brincadeiras simbólicas em situação estruturada de crianças em acolhimento institucional(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-10-30) FILOCREÃO, Camila Lima; MAGALHÃES, Celina Maria Colino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695449937472051Institutional shelter is a protection measure that defines a parental removal when the rights of children and teenagers are threatened. Shelter institution can be regarded as the development context of those who are attended, marked through stimulation, activities and interpersonal relationship. It is substantial to evaluate the sheltering on the child’s perspective in order to extend the comprehension of this phenomenon. When dealing with children, is appropriate to use research techniques that looks familiar and enjoyable. Several researchers have been interested in investigate the play as a way to understand the child universe. This qualitative study had as goal to categorize, describe and analyze the content of symbolic play by which children played in a institutional shelter, focused on the institution itself and child’s family background. The research happened on Espaço de Acolhimento Provisório Infantil (EAPI) that shelters male and female children from zero to six years old. Overall, ten children took part of the study. It was used as tool and material a Characterization Form, a model representing the two institutional environment, everyday object toys, dolls and a video camera. A documental research with the Characterization Form was performed together with a gathering of playful resources. On a reserved room, one of the researchers interacted with the child while the other was filming. Four sessions of thirty minutes were performed with each participant. The results were organized in the following categories and subcategories: 1. Playing shelter (1.1. Routine acknowledgement, 1.2. Games and Plays, 1.3. Relationships); and 2. Playing Family (2.1. Routine, 2.2. Relationships and 2.3. The Family in danger). It was possible to identify the child’s conception about the institutional daily activities and to observe its familiar daily intimacy.
