AN OVERVIEW OF NATIONAL STUDIES ON THE ACQUISITION OF NAMING IN PROCEDURES WITH STIMULUS EQUIVALENCE AND COCHLEAR IMPLANT USERS

O presente artigo teve por objetivo descrever e analisar, criticamente, o conjunto de experimentos conduzidos por pesquisadores brasileiros a respeito de equivalência de estímulos, nomeação e implante coclear, publicados entre 2008 e 2013. Para tanto, realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico, em periódicos da área da análise do comportamento e em bancos de teses e dissertações, selecionando-se trabalhos sobre equivalência de estímulos, implante coclear e nomeação. Foram analisados 11 estudos. Após a análise dos estudos, tornou-se possível sugerir que os procedimentos de ensino, comumente aplicados em participantes com implante coclear, foram mais eficientes para estabelecer comportamentos de seleção de figuras e de palavras impressas – ambos considerados repertório receptivo –, do que para estabelecer comportamentos de nomeação de figuras e de palavras impressas, que são comportamentos associados à leitura expressiva. Nesta perspectiva, percebe-se como são necessários avanços tecnológicos nos procedimentos de ensino que se propõem a instalar e manter comportamentos associados à leitura expressiva, a ponto de serem tão eficazes quanto os procedimentos de ensino que instalam e mantêm o repertório receptivo. Palavras chave: equivalência de estímulos, implante coclear, nomeação.This paper aims to describe and critically analyze the set of experiments conducted by Brazilian researchers on stimulus equivalence, naming (expressive repertoire) and cochlear implants, which were published between 2008 and 2013. To this end, a literature review in journals of Behavior Analysis, and banks of theses and dissertations, selecting work on stimulus equivalence, cochlear implants and naming, was conducted. 11 studies were analyzed. After analyzing the studies, it was possible to suggest that the teaching procedures, more often used with participants with cochlear implants, have been more efficient to establish picture and printed words selection behaviors - both considered receptive repertoire - than to establish naming pictures and printed words behaviors, which are behaviors associated with expressive reading. In this perspective, it became clear how necessary technological advances in teaching procedures that propose to install and maintain behaviors associated with expressive reading, as effective as teaching procedures that install and maintain behaviors associated with receptive reading. Keywords: stimulus equivalence, cochlear implant, naming.

Sedimentary provenance of the Marilia Formation (Bauru Basin), Southeast Brazil

FAPESP - FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULOThe Marilia Formation is a lithostratigraphic unit positioned at the top of the Bauru Group of Maastrichtian age. The present work presents a provenance study of the Marilia Formation sandstones through the combined dating of the fission-track method (FTM) and U-Pb, in which individual zircon grains are simultaneously dated by these two methods. Thirty-one zircons were dated in the C5 sample and 26 in the C7 sample for a total of 57 grains. The data demonstrated a wide range of U-Pb ages, presenting maximum and minimum ages, respectively: 2,905 +/- 11 and 128 +/- 1 Ma for the C7 sample and 2,676 +/- 10 and 455 +/- 5 Ma for the C5 sample. Regarding the fission-track (FT) ages, they have been grouped into three time intervals, which are associated to geological events relatively well recognized in the published literature: ages younger than 250 Ma (Wealdenian Reactivation); between 250 and 470 Ma (Palaeozoic orogenesis-Ocloyic, Precordilleran, Chanic, and Sanrafaelic); and older than 470 (Precambrian collisions-Brasiliano I, II, and III). There is a predominance of results of Precambrian age using the U-Pb dating, mainly in the Neopalaeoproterozoic, and with FT dating corresponding to the Ocloyic, Precordilleran, Chanic, and Sanrafaelic orogeneses. From the comparison of the results between the two dating methods, the age variations suggest that the zircons originated during the main south-western orogenesis of Gondwana and were reworked during the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic geological episodes. The ages associated to the Upper Cretaceous are related to the tectonic and magmatic activity of the Alto Paranaiba Uplift.117FAPESP - FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULOFAPESP - FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO2015/17632-
