Considerations about the selection by consequences model: what has changed in 28 years?

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.
