We introduce the history of behavior analysis in Brazil at the beginning of the 1960s. The behavior analysis laboratory was selected as the focus of this investigation. The time frame of our historical account begins with the visit of Fred Keller to Brazil as a visiting professor at the Universidade de São Paulo. During this period, the first behavior analysis laboratory in Brazil was created, and the first Brazilians were trained in the behavior analysis perspective. We will talk about (a) the zeitgeist of Brazilian higher education, in general, and of psychology, in particular, at the beginning of the 1960s; (b) the background of Keller's arrival in 1961; (c) the reception of the behavior analysis laboratory as a pedagogical tool; and (d) the first steps in the spread of behavior analysis throughout Brazil by means of the work of the didactic behavior analysis laboratory. Our account highlights certain aspects of the beginnings of behavior analysis as a field of scientific study in Brazil. Furthermore, we can observe the importance of the behavior analysis laboratory and its instruments in helping promote this field in Brazil. We especially note that the laboratory was a pedagogical tool in the Brazilian movement to improve Brazil's research community. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
我们介绍了20世纪60年代初行为分析在巴西的历史。行为分析实验室被选为本次调查的重点。我们历史叙述的时间框架始于弗雷德·凯勒（Fred Keller）作为访问教授访问圣保罗大学（Universidade de São Paulo）。在此期间，巴西第一个行为分析实验室成立，第一批巴西人接受了行为分析视角的培训。我们将讨论：（a）20世纪60年代初巴西高等教育，特别是心理学的时代精神；（b）凯勒1961年抵达的背景；（c）行为分析实验室作为一种教学工具的接受情况；（d）通过教学行为分析实验室的工作，行为分析在巴西传播的初步情况。我们的叙述突出了行为分析作为巴西科学研究领域开端的某些方面。此外，我们可以观察到行为分析实验室及其仪器在帮助推动该领域在巴西发展方面的重要性。我们特别指出，该实验室是巴西改善其研究群体运动中的一种教学工具。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2012美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
