Resumo: Variables that influence rule control are important to be known because the control by rules seems to be a distinctive characteristic of humans. Some of these variables are the specification of deadlines and consequences in rules that also state immediate (OIR) or delayed (OAR) opportunity to respond, investigated by Bram & Malott (1990), Mistr & Glenn (1992) e Hupp & Reitman (1999) and replicated in this experiment. Two experiments have been conducted; the first one, due to unpredictable variables interference, it was used as a preparatory for the second one. Four children, between 3 years and 11 months and 5 years and 6 months old participated in the experiment and were divided in 2 groups. The 2 children in Group I were exposed to conditions PI (in which rules specified an immediate deadline), CA (rules specified delayed consequence) and CA-PI (rules specified delayed consequence and immediate deadline) with OIR, and children in Group II, to the same conditions, but with OAR. Results suggested that the specification of immediate deadline or delayed consequence could be enough to evoke the response specified by the rule in OIR, however, the variables manipulated could have had their effect modulated by the presence of the variable history of rule following, and therefore, the interaction between them is still to be investigated. In conditions with OAR, the variable specification of delayed consequence and immediate deadline had a subtle effect and Mistr & Glenn (1992)‟s suggestion that the declaration of immediate consequence could be critical in OAR condition, couldn‟t be discarded. The variable type of opportunity to respond showed to be critical, although could have also been in interaction with the history of rule following to produce some of the results. It was also found verbalizations of the participants, which we called rule related responses, which seemed to differ between groups and thus deserve a greater investigation. The long-lasting function-altering effect of rules was observed in the preparatory experiment
