Abstract

This article compares two sets of texts published in Brazil, in 1 988 and 201 6, focused on the analysis of
the selection by consequences model proposed by Skinner. It is presented the academic contexts in
which the two sets were produced, a brief summary of the main contributions of each text, making a
comparison between them in order to glimpse the evolution that has taken place in the community of
behavior analysts in Brazil along of the last 28 years. In the end, it is suggested that new publications
could analyse recent experimental data regarding their compatibility with the selection on the
ontogenety level, complementing the theoretical / philosophical considerations presented here about the
selection on filohenetic and cultural levels.
