Efeitos da História de Reforçamento Sobre a Variabilidade Comportamental
Palavras-chave:
Variabilidade comportamental, Aprendizagem de seqüências, História de reforçamentoResumo
O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar se a variabilidade comportamental pode ser função da história de reforçamento.
Ratos foram submetidos a reforçamento contingente à emissão de seqüências de quatro respostas de pressão à barra (barra
direita -De barra esquerda - E). Na fase CRF, reforçava-se toda seqüência; nas demais fases, o reforçamento foi intermitente,
sendo contingente à variabilidade da seqüência (VAR) ou independente desta (ACO). A variabilidade foi considerada em
relação à distribuição de respostas D ou E, dentro da seqüência. Metade dos sujeitos foi exposta a essas contingências na
ordem CRF-VAR-CRF-ACO-CRF-VAR (grupo I) e os demais a CRF-ACO-CRF-VAR-CRF-ACO (grupo II). Os resultados
mostraram que os índices de variação foram sempre altos nas fases VAR. Nas fases CRF e ACO, o comportamento foi pouco
variável quando essas contingências foram implantadas antes de VAR e intermediários quando estabelecidas após VAR. Esses
resultados sugerem que a variabilidade comportamental é função da história de reforçamento.
