ABSTRACT:
Rules have been defined, within behavior analysis and without, as stimuli that “refer to” or “specify” contingencies or environmental events (e.g., “Hold the base firmly and turn the top to the right,” Skinner, 1969, p. 139). Ribes-Iñesta1 (2000) suggests that the approach to rules and rule-governed behavior that developed from Skinner’s (1969) work leads to conceptual confusion. Specifically, he proposes that confusion results from the lack of a distinction between rules as stimuli and rules as outcomes. Although such a distinction may be necessary, Ribes-Iñesta does not address the referential or specifying nature of rules and, consequently, fails to provide useful definitions of rules as either verbal stimuli or responses.
