They represent the overlapping effects of multiple extra-experimental contingencies, often drawn from the organism’s biology and history, which interact with the programmed experimental contingencies. All operant classes have both criterial and noncriterial dimensions, with the criterial ones being those that must occur in order for the programmed consequences to take place, and the noncriterial ones being all other behaviors and aspects of behaviors associated with each operant occurrence. Bias and variability can affect both criterial and noncriterial aspects of the operant, but their effects are most often visible within the noncriterial ones. The seven experiments with human participants reported in this thesis used a novel methodology, the revealed operant, that permits the measurement of noncriterial data, thus allowing for an in-depth analysis of both topographic bias and noncriterial variability effects on common behaviors such as drawing and typing.
