SEGURA, ALEJANDRO e BOUZAS, ARTURO. Coordination in Rats: Adjustment to Interdependent Restrictions. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.2, pp.321-331. ISSN 0121-5469.
The study of behavioral adjustment to environments in which interactions among individuals and their consequences are interdependent has resulted in procedures that limit interaction and restrict the operant to the simple simultaneity of actions on individuals' operands. This study evaluated an alternative methodology in which pairs of rats were made to go from one place to another. Access to food was contingent upon individual or joint work, depending on the possibilities of direct interaction determined by the location of the subjects. Coordination was identified only in the pairs that had direct interaction. The suggested protocol makes it possible to study the adjustment to interdependent payoffs resulting from joint action patterns.
