Abstract

En las últimas décadas de investigación básica desde la perspectiva del Análisis Experimental del Comportamiento se ha prestado una especial atención a los fenómenos complejos de control de estimulo capaces de generar comportamiento emergente o "creativo". Estas investigaciones han permitido abordar experimentalmente algunos procesos psicológicos típicamente humanos como la formación de conceptos, la producción y comprensión de la conducta verbal y simbólica, la conciencia y el razonamiento complejo. De manera complementaria, se han realizado también extensas investigaciones sobre las bases conductuales de estos fenómenos en animales no humanos. En este trabajo se describen de forma integrada una selección de fenómenos experimentales representativos que sirven p a explicar comportamientos progresivamente más complejos, y que emergen como a combinación entre la historia de reforzamiento de los sujetos y una situación novedosa.
