RESUMO

Previous studies draw attention to the importance of observing response to the discrimination establishment in differential reinforcement training. This research aims to analyze the observing response and eye movement in a simultaneous simple discrimination situation. Six adults participated. Images of Don Quixote screen painted by Pablo Picasso were used as stimuli. Two images were presented simultaneously along discrete trials. The experiment was divided in three phases: Pre-experimental Phase, Experimental Phase and Post-experimental Phase. In Pre-experimental phase, two identical images were presented. In the Experimental Phase, the images were displayed with a difference at the top left of it. Subsequently the difference was moved to its bottom left portion and finally the difference was displayed on its upper right. The set of conditions of the Experimental Phase predicted the establishment of new discriminations. In Post-experimental Phase, two identical images were presented again. The picture was divided in three parts: Part 1 - the area surrounding the difference displayed in Condition 1; Part 2 - the area surrounding the difference displayed in Condition 2; and Part 3 - the area surrounding the difference displayed in Condition 3. After this division, the duration of looking at these parts was analyzed throughout all phases. All participants showed discriminative performance in three successive conditions. During the Pre-experimental Phase, all participants: a) spent more time looking at Don Quixote, b) spent an intermediary time looking at Sancho Pança, and c) spent a shot time looking at Sol. These patterns were repeated with minor changes along the experimental conditions and the last phase. Under the experimental conditions the duration of looking at the parts of the images whose property was relevant to the discrimination increased while the duration of looking at other parts decreased. All participants showed an increased duration of looking at the S + than at the S- (selective observing). The manual responses were discussed in terms of learning set and stimulus control. The distribution of looking at was discussed in terms of its establishment as an observing response, its extinction and resurgence.
