Studies on extinction of aversive respondent conditioning have shown that a conditional response (CR) may reappear (resurgence) after being extinguished under several conditions: after the passage of time, when the CS is presented in a context different from the context where extinction occurred, or when the US is presented without the CS. Recently, Schiller et al. (2010) have demonstrate…

The aim of the research is to compare, in humans, positively and negatively reinforced behavioral variability, as well as the effects of two different extinction procedures. The behavioral unit will consist of a sequence of four mouse-click responses between two operanda displayed on a computer screen. Variability will be characterized by differences among the 16 possible sequences. The s…
Neutral stimuli that systematically precede aversive stimuli acquire the function of pre-aversive stimuli. Overlaid on positive reinforcement, pre-aversive stimuli paired with uncontrollable aversive stimuli reduce the response rate, an effect known as conditioned suppression. This effect, considered a model of anxiety, has its studies restricted to the interference in the response rate. …
Common Pool Resources (CPR) are shared by multiple individuals and, as they are often natural and renewable, such as fishing areas, they can be impacted by overexploitation, leading to resource scarcity. The absence of contingencies promoting sustainable behaviors generates issues affecting the collective accessing these resources. This study aims to explore potential effects of different…
The literature of blackness in behavior analysis is scarce, especially when it comes to the possibilities of using this science in the reduction of behaviors with the function of segregate, neglect and cause violence towards an individual/group based on their physical traits. Hence, despite being a subject of scientific and social relevance, there are many gaps in research, especially on …
Initiatives for the regulation of life in society have generated discussions in the field of political philosophy for centuries. In this context, different proposals were inspired by different conceptions on human being. In recent years, an idea from the area of behavioral economics has gained increasing prominence: that is "libertarian paternalism", which proposes a revision of tradition…
The dialog between the behavior analysis and the neurosciences arises as an important issue in contemporary scientific debate, since the interlocution of these sciences can contribute to the constitution of a field of more complete knowledge. The possibility/convenience of this dialog is controversial, being rejected by some behavior analysts who support the proposal of Skinner that the e…

Racial microaggressions can be defined as subtle, unintentional, and daily racial slurs that are committed against members of minoritized racial groups. Although racial microaggressions have been reported to relate to a myriad of negative health outcomes, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem, the research on racial microaggressions have been carried out mainly in the U…
