Aproximación al concepto de inferencia desde dos modelos de comprensión: modelo estratégico y modelo de construcción e integración

This paper attempts an approach to the concept of inference from two models of comprehension: strategic model (van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983) and construction-integration model (Kintsch, 1988, 1998, 2001). It is, therefore, to observe whether this concept presents variations in its design and implementation in the process of comprehension, according to the proposals of each model. For this purpose a journey made by the various perspectives (logical, psychological and psycholinguistic) in order to present has been understood by inference, then, a comparative study was carried out between the aforementioned models on the concept of inference raises each using as a criterion for comparison the fundamental source of the minimalist hypothesis (McKoon & Ratcliff, 1992; 1995) and the constructionist theory (Greasser, Singer & Trabasso, 1994).
