Abstract
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el efecto de la comparación en el aprendizaje de verbos mentalistas en niños de 5 a 8 años de la ciudad de Medellín. Se utilizó un diseño cuasi - experimental con enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance explicativo y corte transversal. La muestra, seleccionada por conveniencia, incluyó a 53 niños de 5 a 8 años, distribuidos en dos grupos según la condición experimental: grupo con comparación (25 niños) y grupo sin comparación (28 niños). Los participantes observaron escenas asociadas a verbos mentalistas; el grupo con comparación contempló 3 situaciones, mientras que el grupo sin comparación observó solo una, ambos grupos observaron dos escenas donde debían elegir la que hacía referencia al significado del verbo mentalista aprendido con anterioridad. La información recolectada fue analizada mediante la prueba no paramétrica U de Mann - Whitney. Los resultados indicaron que la comparación no tuvo un efecto significativo sobre el aprendizaje de verbos mentalistas. Este hallazgo sugiere que, a diferencia de lo reportado en estudios sobre verbos concretos, la adquisición de verbos mentalistas podría depender más de otras capacidades cognitivas, como la teoría de la mente, que de estrategias de comparación. Estos resultados aportan evidencia valiosa para comprender los factores que facilitan el aprendizaje de verbos relacionados con estados mentales y constituyen un insumo importante para futuras investigaciones y estrategias educativas orientadas al desarrollo del lenguaje infantil.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of comparison on the learning of mentalist verbs in children aged 5 to 8 years in the city of Medellín. A quasi - experimental design with a quantitative approach, explanatory scope, and cross - sectional design was used. The sample, selected for convenience, included 53 children aged 5 to 8 years, divided into two groups according to the experimental condition: comparison group (25 children) and no comparison group (28 children). The participants observed scenes associated with mental verbs; the comparison group viewed three situations, while the non - comparison group viewed only one scene. Both groups viewed two scenes and had to choose the one that referred to the meaning of the mental verb learned previously. The information collected was analyzed using the nonparametric Mann - Whitney U test. The results indicated that comparison did not have a significant effect on the learning of mentalistic verbs. This finding suggests that, unlike what has been reported in studies on concrete verbs, the acquisition of mentalistic verbs may depend more on other cognitive abilities, such as theory of mind, than on comparison strategies. These results provide valuable evidence for understanding the factors that facilitate the learning of verbs related to mental states and constitute an important input for future research and educational strategies aimed at child language development.
