MELO, Raquel Maria de; HANNA, Elenice S. y CARMO, João dos Santos. Errorless learning and discrimination learning. Temas psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.1, pp.207-222. ISSN 1413-389X. https://doi.org/10.9788/TP2014.1-16.
The term errorless learning is largely used to refer to programming teaching contingencies which result in accurate performances or learning without errors. The occurrence of errors during learning has been considered an important and necessary part of learning in cultural and academic contexts. Errors and their implications for learning are investigated in behavioral analytic studies on stimuli control and their results indicate that errors can affect the accuracy of an already established performance, generate emotional behaviors, and avoidance of the task or teacher. The present study describes different procedures with gradual stimulus change, to teach discrimination skills with none or few errors, and the factors that affect the efficacy of those discriminative training. Such procedures are a relevant contribution from behavior analysis to applied contexts, especially for the development of educational technologies when traditional methods fail.
