| English abstract | Twelve college students participated in a study of the effects of three different continuous reinforcement histories on discrepant rule following, regarded that there were programmed contingencies to prevent these histories to generate behavioral variability. A matching-to sample procedure with three comparison stimuli was used; the participants had to point to each one. In Experiment 1, the alternative behavior to the specified by the discrepant rule was established by differential reinforcement and maintained by a continuous reinforcement schedule untill 320 reinforcers were delivered and the discrepant rule was then presented. Experiment 2 differed from Experiment 1 in that the alternative behavior was established by a correspondent rule. Experiment 3 differed from Experiment 1 because the continuous reinforcement history was terminated after the delivery of 80 reinforcers. Of the 12 students, 11 ceased rule following when the discrepant condition occurred. The role of short-term and prolonged histories, regardless of behavioral variation in discrepant rule following , is discussed |
| Portuguese abstract | Investigou-se, com 12 universitários, os efeitos de três histórias diferentes de reforço contínuo sobre o seguir regras discrepantes das contingências, quando são programadas contingências para essas histórias não gerarem variação comportamental. Utilizou-se um procedimento de escolha segundo o modelo, com três estímulos de comparação; a tarefa consistia em apontar para cada um dos estímulos de comparação. No Experimento 1, o comportamento alternativo ao especificado pela regra discrepante era estabelecido por reforço diferencial e mantido em esquema de reforço contínuo até 320 reforços serem fornecidos, quando a regra discrepante era apresentada. O Experimento 2 diferia do 1 porque esse comportamento alternativo era estabelecido por regra correspondente; e o Experimento 3 diferia do 1 porque a história de reforço contínuo era encerrada após 80 reforços serem fornecidos. Onze participantes abandonaram o seguimento da regra discrepante. Discute-se o papel de histórias, curtas e prolongadas, que geram ou não variação comportamental, sobre o seguir regras discrepantes |
