Resumen

El efecto de redundancia es el hallazgo de un mayor aprendizaje a un estímulo X entrenado en un procedimiento de bloqueo A+ AX+, que a un estímulo Y entrenado en un procedimiento de discriminación BY+ CY-. Estos hallazgos son nuevos y teóricamente desafiantes para todas las teorías del condicionamiento que calculan el aprendizaje en base a un error común. Es por ello que examinamos alternativamente la posibilidad que el fenómeno sea el resultado de un razonamiento proposicional. En un experimento, replicamos el efecto básico y encontramos que la adición de instrucciones sobre la ocurrencia de las consecuencias a un nivel sub-máximo no tiene un efecto significativo sobre el efecto de redundancia. Estos hallazgos son discutidos en relación con una aproximación proposicional y asociativa basada en el supuesto que los estímulos experimentales comparten un elemento común.
