Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Uma análise behaviorista radical dos sonhos(2000) SILVA, Francynete Melo eIn 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.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Notas sobre o Behaviorismo de ontem e de hoje(2011) TOURINHO, Emmanuel ZaguryThis paper aims at offering some historical references concerning the origins and development of behaviorist Psychology.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.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Seleção de pessoal: considerações preliminares sobre a perspectiva behaviorista radical(2003) SANTOS, José Guilherme Wady; FRANCO, Ruth Nara Albuquerque; MIGUEL, Caio FlávioThe goal of the Personnel Selection process is to identify the applicant that best meets the requirements for a specific job. The common practice of classifying job applicants, by personal characteristics considered necessary for successful performance at a specific job position, typically emphasizes internal, rather than environmental, causes of behavior. The current article discusses some aspects related to the difficulty of implementing selection processes based on a radical behaviorist approach and also criticizes the use of psychological tests and categories in the process of personnel selection. It also suggests the need for of clear and objective definitions of behaviors and skills that are relevant for each job position, as well as the identification of the necessary conditions for the occurrence of these behaviors and skills. The need for a behaviorist model of personnel selection is thus suggested. Such a model would include techniques that allow for the observation of the relevant behaviors in analog situations, functional analyses, and possibly, minimal training of some of the required skills, before the final decision is made.
