The concept of metacontingency describes functional relations between interlocking
contingencies (with their aggregate products) and cultural contingencies. We call culturant
the recurrent unit of interlocking behavioral contingencies and their aggregate products. For
more than a decade ago, behavior analysts have been dedicated to make the experimental
evaluation of metacontingency’s relations. Current studies verified that verbal cultural
consequences correlated with non-verbal cultural consequences produce more rate of
recurrence of culturants than just cultural consequences of one nature only. However, the
differential effects of cultural consequences dependent of the changes in experimental
condiction on a culturant are unknown. This study evaluated the differential effect of cultural
consequences of different natures (correlated or not) on a target culturant from an
experimental preparation that applied an analogous ABAB single-subject design in a task of
choosing color lines in a matrix. The dates suggests that there are more favorable conditions
for the selection and maintenance of culturants than others and that stereotyped patterns of
choices emerge under conditions of high stability of culturant recurrence. This study also has
light on possibilities of studies related to uncontrollable aversive conditions and their effects
on culturante. |
