VELASCO, Saulo Missiaggia; BENVENUTI, Marcelo Frota e TOMANARI, Gerson Yukio. Metacontingencies, Experimentation and Nonhumans: Searching for Conceptual and Methodological Advances. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.1, pp.25-34. ISSN 0120-0534.
Metacontingency has been described as the functional relation between interlocking behavioral contingencies, plus their direct and immediate effect, called aggregated product, and a selecting event dependent of such effect, called cultural consequence. The metacontingencies analysis enables the discussion of human behavior complexity in social systems. In the present study, we aimed to review and discuss: (a) the importance of basic behavioral processes analysis for the comprehension of social human phenomena; (b) the necessity of constructing and improving metacontingencies experimental models; (c) the current state of metacontingencies experimental investigations in humans; (d) the use of animal models as a way to control the effects of verbal behavior, among other variables, over cultural selection; (e) a concrete and illustrative proposal of an animal model of metacontingencies.
