Changes in the tendency of children to describe and elaborate ten different kinas of realtions were explored in a two-year period. Thirty-five children solved a task of identifying relations and then, answered to questions made in interviews on three different…

The scientific production related to the concept of interactive styles, one of the dispositional factors described in the theory of behavior of Ribes and López (1985), is analyzed with the purpose of pointing out both the achievements and the issues…

Se describen las aplicaciones potenciales de las ecuaciones estructurales al análisis de constructos de la Teoría de la Conducta de Ribes y López (1985), con el objeto de ampliar sus posibilidades de investigación y enriquecer el trabajo conceptual. Bajo esta…

Available data on adjunctive behavior are briefly reviewed, stressing some important functional and descriptive features and their application to the analysis of some human behavioral problems. The experimental study being described focused on me induction of smoking behavior through the…

En la primera parte de este trabajo se describen algunos experimentos sobre el Beber Inducido por el Programa de Reforzamiento (BIP) con ratas. Los resultados de estos experimentos se pueden clasificar conforme a dos enfoques diferentes. Los datos del primer…

An introduction to modelling latent variable as an analytic strategy for data in behavioral research is presented. This strategy allows to model and manipulate constructs, in contrast to other analytical aproaches that only deal with observed variables. Procedures such as…

Se analiza una de las divergencias usuales entre las teorías conductuales y las teorías psicométricas: la prioridad dada por las teorías conductuales a la comparación de diferentes estímulos de un mismo sujeto -intra- y la que suelen otorgar las teorías…

So-called psychometric personality theories give the basis for quantifying individual differences, where as Ribes´s behavioural personality theory furnishes the elements necessary to quantify within-individual consistency. Both theories suppose coherence in the behavior of the individual over time and in diverse…

280 niños del primer grado de primaria desarrollaron una serie de tareas de lectura y escritura (las morfologías de las tareas) de diferente grado de complejidad (sus niveles funcionales). Los niveles de complejidad de las tareas se pre-establecieron como funciones…

Fourteen mother-retarded child dyada were formally and functionally classified in their interactions in four different contexts: feeding, personal cleaning, homework and free play. Categories employed to analyze those interactions were derived from interactive functional levels proposed by Ribes and López.…
