Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of monitoring on response rates in the presence of inaccurate rules. Six undergraduate students were exposed to an Fixed Interval (FI) FI multiple reinforcement schedule and then to an Extinction (EXT) EXT multiple reinforcement schedule. The experimenter was present (i.e., monitoring) during only one of the multiple-schedule components. Before sessions, participants received the written, inaccurate rule press the button quickly. Sessions lasted for 10 minutes. Each participant emitted high response rates that were non-differential between components with or without monitoring. A discussion in terms of a selectionist approach is carried out.
Highlights
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of monitoring on response rates in the presence of inaccurate rules
Buskist e Miller (1986), Cerutti (1989) e Galizio (1979), por exemplo, mostraram que o controle do comportamento pelas instruções diminui quando os participantes entram em contato com a “discrepância” entre a instrução e a contingência programada, sofrendo consequências aversivas por se manterem fazendo o que a instrução preconiza
Observa-se também que o desempenho dos participantes foi pouco eficaz em ambos os componentes
Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of monitoring on response rates in the presence of inaccurate rules. Barrett et al (1987, Experimento 1), por exemplo, realizaram um estudo para observar o efeito do monitoramento sobre o comportamento de seguir instruções com um delineamento de grupo: durante a realização da tarefa experimental o experimentador estava presente para um dos grupos e ausente para o outro.
