摘要：The main purpose of the present work is to show changes in the methodological orientation conducting experiments in a laboratory dedicated to stimulus control research in primates. The researcher behavior was analyzed in four experiments conducted in that research unity. As decision making, the researcher behavior was initially emphatically controlled by the experimental plan, with emphasis in the control by the procedure, and then became progressively more sensitive to the subjects performance, with emphasis in the control by the results. Along our work, rebuilding the steps of the procedure, adding or subtracting phases from original plan became more likely. These changes in the methodological orientation are directly linked to the change of the name of the referred research unity to Experimental School for Primates, as the research procedures began to be viewed as teaching conditions.
