Neves Filho, Stella, Dicezare and Garcia Mijares (2015), developed an experimental model with the objective of observing the recombination of repertoires in rats (Rattus norvegicus). The experiment consisted of discrete, successive training on the recombination of two different repertoires: (1) digging, and (2) scaling. The solution to the problem situation consisted of digging into the second camera and climbing two flights of stairs. As a result, the animals were able to complete the task, although with topographies of different responses. Based on this experimental model, the research aimed to evaluate whether the insertion of a discriminative training procedure (Sd: sound) influences the repertoire recombination process. Because, in the original experiment, the animals underwent the pre-test phase without delimiting the relation between behavioral emission and reinforcing consequence, so it was not clear whether the problem situation that the animals were solving was indeed a problem. Ten albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar line were used, naive to experiment. They were randomly divided into two groups with 5 animals each: (1) experimental group, which received intervention from the Sd training, in addition to the training of digging and climbing, and (2) control group, which had its process similar to that of Neves Filho et al. (2015). Subsequently, they were submitted to a problem situation, with the issuance of Sd, in order to evaluate the performance of the animals. All animals in the experimental group solved the problem; while none of the control resolved. Based on the data, we propose that the insertion of this procedure is relevant to the repertoire recombination process, since it ensures that the subject is under control of the problem situation.

Pre-Print, Accepted Manuscript, and Final Published Version Archiving, Sharing and Re-Use Policy
The authors’ contribution to RBTCC has three versions, which are defined below and can be archived, shared, and re-used under the following conditions:
1. A pre-print (or original submission) is the author’s version of the article before peer-review has taken place. Prior to acceptance for publication, author(s) retain the right to make a Pre-Print of their article available: on their own personal, self-maintained website; or on a legally compliant pre-print server (e.g., PsyArXiv, arXiv). Once the article has been published, the author(s) should update their acknowledgement and provide a link to the definitive version on RBTCC’s website, adding a text such as: “This is a pre-print of an article published in the Brazilian Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/[insert DOI]”. RBTCC encourages posting of preprints of manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration from RBTCC. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting - including DOI and licensing terms - upon submission of the manuscript or at any other point during consideration at RBTCC publication process.
2. An accepted manuscript is the version accepted for publication in RBTCC following peer review but prior to copyediting and typesetting that can be made available under the following conditions:
(i) on their own personal, self-maintained website immediately on acceptance,
(ii) for public release, 12 months after first publication (i.e., "Embargo Period"), on any of the following: their employer’s internal website; their institutional and/or funder repositories. Accepted manuscripts may also be deposited in such repositories immediately on acceptance, provided that they are not made publicly available until after the Embargo Period.
An acknowledgement in the following form should be included with a link to the published version on the publisher’s website: “This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in the Brazilian Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/[insert DOI]”.
3. The final published (PDF) version is the copy-edited and typeset RBTCC’s PDF, the same version published on the journal’s website. It can be archived in institutional or funder repositories and can be made publicly accessible immediately.
Any re-use terms for users of websites and repositories (where your pre-print or accepted manuscript are posted) are restricted to non-commercial and no derivative uses.
The authors may not republish or translate any version of their contribution in another journal without prior permission from RBTCC’s Editor-in-Chief.
