The purpose of the present study was to investigate the emission of a self-report after the passage of time depending on the events that occur during that period. Specifically, we intended to investigate the effects of the topographies and the number of intermediary responses on the self-report accuracy. Eleven undergraduate students were subjects on two different experiments. Both consisted on a Delayed Matching to Sample (DMTS) task, the self report target behavior, followed by one or three Matching to Sample (MTS) or Anagram tasks, which were the intermediary tasks, being the first one the topography similar and the second one the distinguishable topography. The computer task ended with two self-reports: 1) Which one have you chosen? In which the participant should indicate the comparison stimuli he had chosen on the DMTS trial and 2) Did you get it right? In which the subject could say YES , I DON T KNOW and NO . The results analysis showed that: 1) for the subjects who had made mistakes on the DMTS tasks there was an imprecision tendency after the DMTS mistakes; 2) those imprecisions were False-alarm for 7 at 11 participants and for all participants there also were Omissions; 3) in general, the most imprecise self-reports were those preceded by the MTS tasks; 4) more imprecision was found on the selfreports preceded by three intermediaries tasks for both MTS and Anagram and 5) considering hits and mistakes on DMTS task, with the exception of one participant, the most inaccurate self-reports was on the topographical self-report condition. The results suggest that the occurrence of other behaviors between a given behavior and its selfreport might produce inaccurate self-reports depending on the complexity of the stimulus control from that verbal response
