| Sumario: | This paper discusses the use of behavior analysis laboratory in teaching of psychology from the debate on the use of animals in didactic-scientific contexts. Provided the basis for the analysis: 1) international guidelines on the use of animals in research and teaching and 2) the Brazilian legislation on ethics in animal experiments. Usually the activities that take place in Behavior Analysis didactic laboratories aim the demonstration of concepts; It is a possible point in conflict with the current legislation. It is also observed that the traditional configuration of the laboratory results in negative impacts on the welfare of experimental subjects. It is suggested therefore some changes in didactic laboratory practices. Such changes can be made with the expansion of the didactic objectives of Behavior Analysis laboratory. |
