Andronis et al. (1997) observed in pigeons "symbolic aggression" responses in a social context which emerged under specially arranged conditions (FI schedule) and with a new function. The authors pointed to Adduction as a process responsible for the emergence of novel behavior, without direct training. The procedure was adapted to investigate whether (1) the results would be extended to humans; (2) "symbolic aggression" would emerge; (3) an FI condition would induce aggression; (4) the repertoire would be under control of aspects of the social context, the effects of discomfort responses; and (5) whether the behavior would be novel in the experimental context. Two Groups of participants (24 participants and 2 Confederates) performed a task on the computer to produce points. They were identified like referent participant (RP) and target participant (TP), and performed the Individual Training phases: (1) discriminative training (on FR10, FR50 and FR100 schedules and red, yellow and green screen color) on responses that controlled the production of points; (2) the control of the change-keys (F and N) that altered the schedule for the participant’s behavior (for FR10 or FR100) and (3) transfer of function of the answers in F and N that started to control the color of the screen of the adjacent room. Phases (2) and (3) were performed only by RP. The emergence of responses that increased or decreased the requirement to produce points was tested in (4) Social Conditions FR and Social FI, in the presence of TP, and (5) the reversion in the Individual Conditions. For Group 2, responses of discomfort to aggression were issued by the Confederates (TP). Four refererent participants increased the requirement, and eight decreased the requirement on TP’s reponses. The number of TP points controlled RP´s performance, but it was not possible to identify a clear effect of the discomfort responses. It was analyzed how the repertories that emerged could be interpreted as a product of Adduction, Recombination of Repertories or variations in the consequences produced
