Sobre la distinción entre conducta adjuntiva y conducta operante (A propósito del comentario de M.C. Luciano al artículo "Inducción de la conducta adjuntiva de fumar...") Pérez Alvarez

Abstract

According says Professor M.C. Luciano at the beginning of his commentary on our work "adjunctive behavior Induction of smoking by intermittent presentation monetary reinforcers," that critically reviews one of the petitions of principle underlying the arguments in our article. It is known that the intermittent timing of certain types of stimuli results in the experimental subjects, as collateral, the registration of a normally high rates of behaviors in anything related (at least in principle) with the estimulation received. The collateral natures of these responses are an exaggerated level that is called "attached" to this type of behavior. Well, the premise put forward by us, and criticized by Professor Luciano said that the temporal and functional characteristics of adjunctive behavior impossible that it can be understood from the paradigm of operant conditioning.
