This proposal seeks support for a visit of Dr. Darlene Crone-Todd to the Laboratory of Human Behavior Studies (LECH) at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), from August 18-28, 2017. UFSCar is the seat of the National Institute of Research and Technology on Behavior, Cognition and Teaching (INCT/ECCE, whose continuity for the next six years has been recently approved by CNPq, and…
A central function of the mind is the use and manipulation of symbols. The present proposal is based on a behavioral model that conceives the relationship between symbol and referent as an equivalence relation, with generative potential that gives rise to novel relations. The proposal comprises research articulated around two axes. The first comprises the investigation of symbolic functio…

According to the Relational Frame Theory (RFT), two opposition relations (e.g., AoppositeB and BoppositeC) allow the derivation of a coordination relation (A=C). Additional opposition relations in a linear series enable the alternating derivation of opposition and coordination relations. Thus, adding CoppositeD allows the derivation of AoppositeD, and the addition of DoppositeE generates …
Musical auditory stimuli - chords, scales, progressions, melodies and musical excerpts - have marked differences between them; however, they have similar properties by which we can classifying them as being of the "major" or "minor" types. Probably, a training with a limited number of musical auditory stimuli of both types (major and minor) can enable the participant to discriminate stimu…
Issues related to data privacy have gained relevance with the digitalization of everyday life. These issues concern how people treat their data and what they think about how their data is used by institutions, companies, and the community. The present project will explore whether the stimulus equivalence paradigm is a viable experimental strategy to interpret and predict the correlation b…

The variability of stimulus equivalence test results may be a consequence of the experimenter not controlling the stimulus control topographies (SCTs) - control by selection (S+) and rejection (S-) - during a typical Matching to Sample task. Controlling SCTs and ensuring both S+ and S- controls in teaching the relationship between stimuli would lead to a reduction in the variability of th…
Sidman's discoveries established relations of equivalence between stimuli as central for a behavioral analysis of cognition. Subsequent research addressed other relations, such as difference, opposition, comparison, etc. Relational learning generates derived relations and transformation of functions of stimuli in accordance with the learned relations. This project proposes an experiment t…
The pairing of a conditioned stimulus (CS) with a stimulus that has positive or negative valence (US), can make the valence of the first equivalent to the latter. However, the CS-US relationship is not always effective, since self-instruction counteractive about CS can occasionally cancel the valence of US, impeding the success of the conditioning. One way to circumvent these self-instruc…

This proposal presents an overview of an experimental study and other planned activities to be carried out during a research stay at Ulster University (UU; in Northern Ireland) that would provide a valuable extension to the research project currently being developed by the beneficiary in São Paulo. In brief, the project currently underway is seeking to develop a relatively precise account…
Rule following behavior is an important field of research in behavior analysis. Several socially relevant behaviors are related to rule following, such as suffering from different psychological disorders, and the compliance to socially relevant rules (e.g., traffic rules and use of masks). Recent advances in Relational Frame Theory have driven the study of new variables related to rule fo…
This project addresses racial prejudice issues and presents an overview of activities proposed for an internship at the National University of Ireland. This proposal is a valuable extension of the beneficiary's doctoral research, which investigates the efficacy of different types of evaluative conditioning procedures in reducing negative attitudes (evaluations) toward black faces. Experi…
