Efecto de la edad y el tipo de reforzador en la equivalencia-equivalencia mediante un procedimiento de partición Effect of age and type of reinforcer in the Equivalence - Equivalence by a partition procedure

摘要: Equivalence – responding (Barnes et al., 1997), based on derived or non-explicitly trained relational responding, supports a behaviour-analytic model of analogical reasoning. Conditional discriminations are the most common procedure used to train its prerequisites. In this exploratory work we test Vaughan’s (1988) simple discrimination instead derive Eq-Eq responses in children. Two factors were assessed: type reinforcer (primary secondary) and age participants (9-10 12-13 years). The successfully leaded derivation equivalence responses, both influenced results: selecting older children applying primary reinforcement faster learning better results test. No interaction between was found. This training can provide new way investigate behavioural prerequisites important ability
