Identification of selector interactions in etholofical and comparative psychology
Abstract
Scientific analysis of objects and events from reality should be based on an analysis of shared characteristics of such objects and events. Particularly, in behavior experimental analysis, scientific study, among other elements, has its foundations on historic antecedents. In this paper, some studies related to ethological observation as well as comparative study of behavior as historic antecedents of the so-called selector function in the behavior functional taxonomy of Ribes and López (1985).
