Se expuso a 128 estudiantes de quinto de primaria al dilema de bienes publicos y al de recursos, bajo el marco de “ahorro”, “inversion”y“consumo”. La tarea experimental se realizo en grupos de cuatro estudiantes utilizando fichas de plastico, en ensayos repetidos, con contrabalanceo en el orden de presentacion de los dilemas. En el dilema de bienes publicos se entrego un monto inicial de 20 fichas por participante y estos decidian cuanto aportar a una urna grupal que duplicaba las fichas y cuyas ganancias se repartian por partes iguales. En el caso del dilema de recursos, se establecio una urna con 100 fichas de la cual los participantes podian consumir hasta 20 fichas por ronda, hasta agotar el recurso. La tarea experimental se llevo a cabo bajo una de tres condiciones de intercambio: con comunicacion previa a cada ronda, sancion a otorgarse de forma individual o control (sin comunicacion ni sancion). Se encontro que los participantes realizaron mas elecciones cooperativas en el dilema de aportacion, asi mismo, cuando los participantes se comunicaron entre ensayos la cooperacion fue casi del doble con respecto a las otras condiciones. Se discute respecto al efecto del cambio de situacion (aportacion o consumo) en el patron de elecciones.

Existe evidencia de las variables que afectan el valor subjetivo de recom- pensas, sin embargo, la comparacion de procesos de eleccion en ninos es limitada. El objetivo del estudio fue comparar el descuento tempo- ral, probabilistico y por esfuerzo en ninos, mediante contingencias vir- tuales. Se utilizo un diseno intrasujeto en el que participaron 34 ninos. Los ensayos de eleccion se presentaron con el procedimiento de ajuste de la cantidad, con cuatro ensayos por cada uno de los cinco niveles de demoras, probabilidades en contra y esfuerzos. Los resultados mostra- ron diferentes mecanismos de eleccion en funcion del costo asociado a la entrega de las recompensas. El analisis intrasujeto del ajuste del modelo hiperboloide a los datos, revelo falta de correspondencia con el nivel de ajuste grupal, lo que sugiere que la variabilidad individual forma parte del fenomeno general de descuento. Un analisis factorial agrupo los puntos de indiferencia en dos factores. El presente estudio expande la investigacion sobre la devaluacion de recompensas virtuales, procesos de eleccion que emergen por las variables contextuales, asi como las implicaciones del nivel de analisis individual que arroja mayor informa- cion de la complejidad del comportamiento de eleccion.

Having studied in the Conditioning program at Queens College from the City University of New York (1972-1981) places me in an unique position to celebrate the 70 th birthday of Principles of Psychology. Different from my sporadic contact with Fred Keller, I was in continuous contact with Nat Schoenfeld. During this period I read for the first time their wonderful book. Since an impersonal analysis of the text is impossible I decided to share a few memories from that epoch. One was my obsession to understand the premises of Nat s thinking of psychology. I concluded that almost invariably he strived to integrate the known independent variables of behavior on continua that allowed for quantitative variation to produce new knowledge. My second memory is related to the latter and was my discovery of his systematization of established knowledge. This is evident in Principles of Psychology, which emphasizes that behavior analysis is a view of the whole of psychology. The textbook organizes the established knowledge as variations of reinforcement and extinction, with each chapter adding new knowledge to the preceding one. The power of such strategy is evident in the last three chapters on motivation, emotion and social behavior, which are not common themes in behavior analysis.

Estudios anteriores han observado resultados que no se muestran con- cluyentes acerca del fenomeno de bloqueo en la adquisicion de clases de equivalencias de estimulos (CEE). Ademas, no ha habido consenso sobre la forma adecuada de estudiar dicho fenomeno. Se revisaron los estudios previos sobre bloqueo y CEE, y se realizaron dos experimen- tos en los cuales se entrenaron dos clases de cuatro estimulos mediante una tarea de igualacion a la muestra. Se entreno un estimulo compuesto AX con el objetivo de observar si el entrenamiento previo de A interfe- ria en la inclusion de X en una clase de equivalencia de estimulo. En el Experimento 2, se duplico la cantidad de ensayos necesarios durante el entrenamiento. Los resultados son coherentes con estudios anteriores y muestran mayores efectos de competencia de estimulos. Se observo que el efecto de competencia de estimulo aumento al duplicar el entre- namiento. Se discute una fuerte falencia metodologica en los estudios sobre bloqueo y CEE, y se propone una metodologia superadora de este problema para que sea utilizada en futuros estudios.

The effects of response-reinforcer relations on coordinated responding were investigated. Coordinated responding was defined as two lever presses, one by each rat that occurred within 500 ms of one another. Four conditions were arranged in an ABCB design. Coordinated responding was reinforced according to a fixed-ratio 6 (FR 6) schedule in Condition A. In Condition B, a response by each rat was required, independent of their temporal proximity, to produce water delivery under a variable-interval schedule. Condition C was a replication of Condition B, except that coordinated responding was required for reinforcer deliveries. All conditions involved simultaneous reinforcement, that is the rats received access to reinforcers at the same time. The results extended previous findings by demonstrating the requirement of coordinated responses to produce reinforcement affected both coordinated response rates and the proportion of such responses relative to the total responses in a session, in that both measures were higher in Conditions A and C than in Condition B. There also was control of the temporal distribution of coordinated responding by the type of schedule (FR or VI): A “break-and-run” pattern was observed under the FR schedule, and a constant response rate was observed under the VI schedule.

Two pigeons key pecked under a two-component multiple fixed-ratio (FR) FR schedule. Each component provided a different reinforcer magnitude (small or large) thatwhich was signaled by the color of the key light. Large- (rich) and small- (lean) reinforcer components randomly alternated to produce four different types of transitions between the size of the immediately preceding reinforcer and the size of the upcoming reinforcer: lean-to-lean, lean-to-rich, rich-to-lean, and rich-to-rich. During probe sessions, a mirror (which was covered during baseline sessions) was uncovered and attack responses toward the mirror were measured, along with the force of individual mirror attacks. The pigeons paused the longest, and attacked most frequently during the rich-to-lean transitions. The pigeons also exhibited some attacksh during lean-to-lean transitions, and pauses were longer during these transitions than during the lean-to-rich and rich-to-rich transitions. Pauses were short and attack infrequent during these last two transition types. In addition, attacks were more forceful during the rich-to-lean transitions thaen during the other transition types. These data are consistent with the view that rich-to-lean transitions function aversively and, as such, generate behavior patterns, including aggression, commonly produced by other aversive stimuli.

The present experiment was conducted to investigate whether an experimental pigeon's shield-peck responses toward a target pigeon could be induced by a food reinforcement schedule consisting of continuous reinforcement (CRF) and extinction. Further, the interaction between experimental and target pigeons’ shield-peck responses was investigated. The experiment was an ABAB design consisting of alternating phases of nonreinforcement (A) and CRF-extinction (B) of the experimental pigeons' key-peck responses unrelated to their shield-peck responses. The experimental pigeons' shield-peck responses were induced by the CRF-extinction schedule. Further, there were positive correlations between the experimental and the target pigeons' shield-peck responses revealing a similar trend in both their response rates. Thus, the experimental pigeons’ shield-peck responses were controlled by variables including the reinforcement schedule and social stimuli including ontogenic and phylogenic variables derived from their target pigeons. Moreover, the pigeons' responses could be classified as an aggressive behavior derived from the interlocking contingencies of the responses of the pigeons of the dyads.
