ABSTRACT

The Experimental Analysis of Behavior has a close interdisciplinary collaboration with neuroscientists in both de US and Europe; in Mexico this collaboration is still infrequent. The present paper addresses the epistemological affinities between both disciplines. The paper also presents some experimental models that could be useful for neuroscientists. Specifically the paper presents the following models: Acquisition with delayed reinforcement, Matching under concurrent schedules, and Temporal discrimination.
