Resumen:

Some behavior analysts have recovered from behavioral cognitive psychology certain methodological tools to study some complex phenomena (Cabello and O'Hara, 2002). From these, the so-called Verbal Protocol Analysis developed by Ericsson and Simon (1993) is the one that has had the greatest impact. The advantage of this tool is that even though it was designed to know the cognitive structures, given their methodological rigor and reliability, may be applied in different fields of psychology; for example, in the basic research to study complex phenomena (Wulfert, Dougher and Greenway, 1991), and the applied research (Robinson, 2001; Taylor and Dionne, 2000). This paper shows the results of a study that evaluated two forms of protocols analysis, concurrent protocols and retrospective protocols were used and contrasted so as to know solution strategies in a matching serial task. Two experimental groups were trained by following the methodological proposal of Ericsson and Simon (1993), and a control group did not receive any protocol. The results did not indicate differences in performance between the groups in training trails and transfer tests. However, significant differences in quantity of verbal segments and the kind of solution strategies reported were observed. © 2013 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
