Resumo: This study sought to: (1) propose a device to the experimental analysis of behavior, (2) present the results of two studies conducted during the testing of equipment, (3) present the first experimental results obtained from monitoring the daily activities of the experimental subject in such equipment and (4) report two experiments in which they attempted to demonstrate empirically the establishment of different surrogate conditioned motivating operations. First, the equipment (Caixa Geradora e Monitora de Cotidiano, CGMC) was presented. During testing of the equipment, two studies were conducted. The first on the effects of light on the daily activities of the experimental subject, the results produced indicated the need for adjustments to equipment, in particular concerning the type and intensity of light used for establishing the cycles of light / dark. The second study occurred during the tests CGMC allowed us to analyze the effects of water restriction (imposed accidentally) of approximately five days on the daily activities of the experimental subject. The results indicate changes in the distribution of the daily activities of the experimental subjects, even those not necessarily related to obtaining water. Once the testing phase of the equipment was finished, a study was conducted in order to monitor the daily activities of the experimental subjects, over the days. The results point to the existence of patterns in the flow behavior that can be modified by various types of variables, such as the cycle of light and dark used, water restrictions and changes in schedules of reinforcement. Finally, two experiments were performed in order to demonstrate empirically the formation of two surrogate conditioned motivating operations. The results point to the failure to establish surrogate conditioned motivating operations
