Uma análise behaviorista radical dos sonhos
(2000) SILVA, Francynete Melo e
In spite of the fact that there is no consensus concerning questions about the nature and origin of dreams, the majority of the studies on the nature of the dreams agrees that they are related to internal conditions of the organism. As opposed to that notion, the radical behaviorism analyses the dreams as private behaviors and, thus, as products of philogenetical, ontogenetical, and cultural histories. In this sense, this paper aims to analyze the dreams from a radical behaviorism perspective, considering them as private events, perceptual behaviors, and arguing that they are learned processes. It is asserted that the dreams interpretation is impossible if the contingencies that control such activity are unknown.

Análise do controle por regras
(2010) ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Carlos de; PARACAMPO, Carla Cristina Paiva
In Behavior Analysis there is a proposal in which rules do not alter the probability of behavior future occurrence and another one in which rules can exercise this effect. The present study has the objective of presenting such proposals. Before this, the distinction between rule-controlled behavior and the contingency-controlled behavior are presented, besides some procedures used to investigate rule control and some theoretical propositions concerning how rules function. Afterwards, some reasons why rules are followed are presented, highlighting the effects of delayed consequences. In conclusion, arguments stating that rules can alter the probability of future behavior are presented.

Conseqüências do externalismo behaviorista radical
(1999-08) TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury
Skinner's approach to a science of behavior is discussed with reference to the concept of "externalism" (the search for relations between the organism and external events). Skinner's works, respectively, from 1938, 1953 and 1990, whose discourses deal with different explanations of behavior, are examined in order to emphasize his persistent concern with drawing a clear distinction between behavior analysis and (neuro)physiology. Certain aspects of Skinner's writings, that seem to provide insufficient support for any definitive statement regarding the autonomy of a science of behavior, are highlighted along with resultant difficulties that have arisen in the literature of the field.

Efeitos de manipulações de propriedades formais de estímulos verbais sobre o comportamento
(2010) BRAGA, Mariella Vasconcelos Nogueira; ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Carlos de; PARACAMPO, Carla Cristina Paiva; SANTOS, Joene Vieira dos
Aiming to investigate the effects of antecedent verbal stimuli on behavior, twenty-four students were exposed to a match to sample procedure. The task consisted of pointing out to each of three comparison stimuli. The correct behavior was reinforced in fixed ratio 6. In Condition 1, the order of the presentation of the stimuli at the beginning of phases 2, 3, 4 and 5 was: corresponding instruction, minimal instruction, corresponding question, minimal question, respectively. The eight conditions differed only in the order in which the verbal stimuli were presented. The corresponding stimuli and corresponding question established the correct behavior in 95% and 33% of the cases, respectively. The minimal stimuli didn't establish the correct behavior. The results have implications on the defining of rules.

Ensino de leitura de sentenças: contribuições da análise do comportamento
(2015-06) HAYDU, Verônica Bender; FERNANDES, Ana Carolina Zuanazzi; ASSIS, Grauben José Alves de; KATO, Olivia Misae
The stimulus equivalence paradigm has been used infrequently in studies of sentence reading. Therefore, the present study evaluated the effect of a procedure involving teaching and testing conditional relations followed by the chaining of words upon sentence reading with comprehension and reading generalization. Eight students, 7 to 9 years old, participated in the study. The procedure included a pre- and post-test, three teaching phases and reading with comprehension tests, a connectivity test, and a sentence construction test. Words and sentences reading improved from pre- to post-test in all cases, showing that the procedure was effective in teaching sentence reading with comprehension.

Intencionalidade em Tomasello, Searle, Dennett e em abordagens comportamentais da cognição humana
(2011-06) MOREIRA, Sylvio Állan Rocha; SOUZA, Carlos Barbosa Alves de
The approach of Tomasello to the evolution of human cognition attempts to integrate biological, behavioral, and cultural processes within a sole explicative system. A fundamental critic towards it has been the need of a better elaboration of the concept of intentionality. The present paper aimed to: (1) analyze Tomasello's use of the concept of intentionality, and (2) establish dialogues between this use and theories of intentionality in the philosophy of mind and functionalist approaches to human cognition in behavior psychology. The results of this paper indicate that Tomasello's use of the concept of intentionality is compatible to these theories and approaches. Morevover, Tomasello's approach may extend the investigation of more complex symbolic processes than the ones traditionally investigated by behavior psychology.

Notas sobre o Behaviorismo de ontem e de hoje
(2011) TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury
This paper aims at offering some historical references concerning the origins and development of behaviorist Psychology. It begins with Watson’s contributions and highlights his detachment from the causal mode of selection by consequence started in Psychology by Thorndike. Then, the paper discusses some developments of behaviorism under the leadership of Skinner and argues that some achievements have largely resulted from a recovery of selectionism. Finally, it contends that, by the end of the 20 th century, the approach started by Skinner extended to new directions, engendering behavior analysis as a multidimensional system. The paper concludes by pointing out that a historical view of the process of behavioral investigation provides a more precise frame of what this approach has represented as a psychological system.

A produção de conhecimento em Psicologia: a análise do comportamento
(2003-06) TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury
This paper discusses radical behaviorist approach to Psychology as a science of behavior, highlighting three sets of issues: a) the notion of knowledge adopted, particularly in its rejection of logical positivist principles, and its accordance to an instrumental and relational view; b) an interpretation of Psychology as a field of knowledge in which philosophical, scientific and applied contents are articulated; and c) a research program of psychological phenomena based on an externalist view of the subject matter and a selectionist conception of causality. The analysis contrasts radical behaviorism to modern conceptions of men, emphasizing its scope and its critical and innovatory character in Psychology and in culture in general.

Seguimento de regras nutricionais em crianças com excesso de peso
(2015-03) MARTINS, Lana Cristina Cardoso de Oliveira; FERREIRA, Eleonora Arnaud Pereira; SILVA, Lúcia Cristina Cavalcante da; ALMEIDA, Flávia Pinho
This study assessed the effects of instructions, verbal report training (VRT) and self-monitoring training (ST), with and without the presence of the primary caregiver, on following nutritional rules in obese or overweight children. Two children (P1: a nine-year-old boy; P2: a eleven-year-old girl) and their caregivers participated through interviews performed in an outpatient clinic. Ten interviews were performed. After instructions, P1 maintained and P2 improved the knowledge on nutritional orientation. Adherence to diet scores obtained by P2 were higher than those obtained by P1 in all phases. There was a clinically significant change after the introduction of the VRT in both participants. Efficiency of the intervention procedures used and the importance of the caregiver’s presence are discussed.
