Assistant Professor at UNESP, Universidade Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, in the city of Bauru, in the Department of Psychology.He holds a degree in Psychology from the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ). Master in Behavior Analysis from the State University of Londrina (UEL). PhD in Psychology from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) with a doctoral internship at the National University of Ireland - Maynooth (NUIM) in Ireland (supported by Capes/INCT-ECCE and later by Fapesp). He was a Capes / INCT ECCE fellow in a postdoctoral internship at UFSCar. He carried out a second Post-Doctorate with the help of Fapesp at UFSCar in which he was awarded with BEPE and worked as a Visiting Researcher at the Ghent University (UGent), in Ghent, Belgium.He was President of the Brazilian Contextual Behavioral Science Association (ACBS-Brasil) for 3 years (2018-2021). He was a member of the Culture, Language and Symbolic Behavior Research Group (CLiCS), of the National Institute of Science and Technology on Behavior, Cognition and Teaching (INCT-ECCE).He is currently a member of the Behavior Analysis of Language and Cogniton Research Group International (BALC-I) and is a member of the ABAI and ACBS-Br associations. Develops research on behavioral processes related to language and human cognition, especially from the perspective of Relational Frame Theory (RFT), focusing on flexibility of relational networks, transformation and transfer of functions, investigation of social biases and experimental analogues of psychopathologies . He is a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior and The Psychological Record. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Human development is a intricate and dynamic phenomenon that spans an individual's life from conception to advanced stages. The early years of life are crucial for establishing behaviors that form the basis for more complex repertoires, considering especially human behavior. The Relational Frame Theory seeks to understand how this repertoire, that underlies Verbal Behavior, is learned ear…
The experience of motherhood, especially in the early years, represents a period of remarkable vulnerability in women's lives, characterized by physical, hormonal, psychological, and social role changes. The high incidence of anxiety and depression disorders during pregnancy and postpartum highlights the importance of understanding the challenges faced by mothers. This project aims to exp…
Experimental studies have repeatedly demonstrated that, from the establishment of some relations among stimuli, others, untrained, can be demonstrated. The Relational Frame Theory presents an alternative interpretation to explain these phenomena, called derived, and proposes that contextual control would allow the establishment of a varied number of relational frames, in other words, diff…

Experimental research repeatedly has reported that once some relations among stimuli are established, other untrained relations, are derivated. Researchs about this topic make possible experimental explanations of different new emergent behavior. In this context, it will be proposed two studies in this Project. In Study 1, 50 undergraduate students will be trained aiming to stablish hiera…
Interrogations concerning how abstract symbols obtain meaning remain like fascinating puzzles to comportamental and cognitive sciences. Stimuli equivalence had been considered an appropriate model to laboratorial study of symbolic behavior. Nowadays, questions about establishing and transferring of meaning had been achieved through the quantitative analysis of transfer of functions betwee…
This project presents an overview of an experimental proposal and other planned activities to be carried out during an internship at Ghent University that will be a valuable extension to the research being developed during the beneficiary post-doc. The research being developed in Brazil is employing abstract and meaningful stimuli (faces expressing emotion) to investigate nodality effects…
