O presente estudo verificou como contextos verbais (instruções), e não verbais (objetos), exercem controle sobre respostas verbais em um episódio verbal total. Participaram desse estudo 10 alunos universitários com idades entre 19 e 26 anos. Os participantes foram expostos a quatro condições experimentais em um delineamento de sujeito como seu próprio controle. Nas Condições 1, 2 e 3 foi apresentada a instrução “Queime logo esta ponta aí.”, sendo que, nas Condições 2 e 3, também foram apresentados estímulos não verbais. Na Condição 4, foi apresentada a instrução “Queime logo esta ponta aí. Calma senhor, senão acabo estragando a roupa”. Os participantes, a cada condição, foram solicitados a apresentarem por escrito suas respostas. Verificou-se que as variáveis manipuladas como contexto controlaram as respostas verbais dos participantes, isto é, estes passaram a emitir respostas verbais relacionadas aos estímulos verbais e não verbais apresentados a cada condição experimental. Explicações do controle contextual levaram em consideração os princípios de discriminação, generalização e relações condicionais arbitrárias.
the goal of the present work was to investigate the relations between the independent variables, which in this study were verbal (instructions) and non-verbal (figures and images of objects) contexts and their effects in the dependent variable, which was the descriptive behavior of OBJECTS and ACTIONS in a total verbal episode. An experiment was conducted as a verify: 1) if verbal and non-verbal contexts exert control over verbal responses in a total verbal episode. This experiment was conducted with ten (10) participants with ages varying from 19 to 25 yeas. Each participant was exposed to 4 different experimental conditions (CONDITIONS 1, 2, 3 and 4) in a single-case design. During the CONDITIONS 1, 2 and 3 the following instructions was presented: "QUEIME LOGO SUA PONTA AÍ", being that in the CONDITIONS 2 and 3 the following non-verbal stimuli were presented: MATCHES and a STRING (figures and images) and in the CONDI-TION 3: MATCHES and a CANDLE (figures and images). In the CONDITION 4 the instruction presented was "QUEIME LOGO ESSA PONTA AÍ. CALMA SENHOR, SENÃO ACABO ESTRAGANDO A ROUPA". In each condition the participant was asked to write his answers. A categorization of the textual responses as referent to OBJECT or ACTION was used for analysis. We verified a considerable frequency of textual verbal responses that made reference to the related objects (figures/images) and actions. We concluded that both the verbal (instruction) and non-verbal (objects) contexts, when altered, controlled changes in the participants' responses across the experimental conditions in a systematic way.
