DESVIACIONES HUMANAS RESPECTO A ESTANDARES ANIMALES BAJO PROGRAMAS DE REFORZAMIENTO MEDIANTE LA AUTOGENERACION DE CONDUCTA VERBAL

Abstract

Human and animal multiple schedule performances were examined for sensitivity to contingencies on tour different three component multiple schedules. Human performances were additionally examined· by either allowing subjects' concurrent self-generation of rules, the delivery of a rule, or left uninstructed. Results illustrated that human and animal performances did not differ dramatically when onl,y brief exposure to contingencies were allowed on each schedule. Rather than simply a verbal repertoire, it appears that human subjects' ability to derive accurate self-rules more appropriately account for the traditional differing results between animal and human performances on schedules of reinforcement.
