Resgarte: um jogo para a promoção de criatividade na perspectiva analítico comportamental

Abstract

Behavioral scientists have been working hardly around the study of creativity for a long time, although the operational definition of the concept does not yet exist. However, lines of research on insight and reinforced variability have widened as component and explanatory processes of the creative phenomenon. Thus, creative behavior, although complex, is part of the operant paradigm. Therefore, it can be taught and therefore learned. Given this, tools can be developed with the purpose of promoting creative behavior through criteria such as the arrangement of reinforcing contingencies from the behavior of interconnection of repertories (insight) and vary. For that, the game design theory was used as a method that predicts the structure of a game from a support tetrad composed of: narrative, mechanics, technology and aesthetics. With this in mind, a board game was developed using the theoretical framework of behavior analysis, more specifically, insight theory and reinforced variability, aiming to establish and maintain creative behaviors.
