ABSTRACT:
Skinner (1969) distinguished between rule governed behavior and contingency-shaped behavior. Skinner suggested that contingency-shaped behavior is acquired through direct exposure to environmental consequences, whereas rule governed behavior is controlled by "rules derived from the contingencies in the form of injunctions or descriptions which specify occasions, responses and consequences" (Skinner,1969 p 160; emphasis added). Although other researchers have suggested revisions of Skinner's approach to rules and rule following (Chase & Danforth, 1991; Hayes & Hayes, 1989; Schlinger, 1993; Zettle & Hayes, 1982), Skinner's definition of a rule as a contingency specifying stimulus remains the most influential within behavior analysis. From an RFT perspective, the predicted performances constitute a basic model of instructional control in that response sequences are specified by derived Same or Different relations between A and C stimuli, and Before or After relations among C stimuli. In the context of the analysis of complex human behavior, the current research is critical. In order to provide a functional-analytic approach to the specification of contingencies by instructions, the term 'specify' must be defined functionally and demonstrated using previously neutral stimuli in a laboratory setting. The current research represents the first tentative steps towards that goal.
