The literature points out that the behaviorist community systematically produces studies on its scientific production. Usually, abstracts of the publications are used, which allow to focus on a great number of works; however, such a decision precludes an in-depth analysis of what has been done, owing to the absence of more detailed information. In...

In the last decade, radical behaviorists have been studying private events. Skinner overtly admits the occurrence of covert links in behavioral complex events, as it is the case of the problem solving behavior, but presents no explicit procedure to study covert behavior. In order to understand problem solving behavior it is necessary to focus on su...

Skinner, embora admita a ocorrência de elos encobertos em eventos comportamentais complexos, como é o caso da resolução de problemas, não indica como torná-los públicos. A busca de alternativas metodológicas é, pois, fundamental um...
