Resumen

En este trabajo se estudian los vínculos entre calidad comunicativa y habla privada en una situación comunicativa referencial espacial. La calidad comunicativa se analiza en base a los mensajes enunciados. El habla privada se analiza al modo vygotskiano como habla cuyo rol cognitivo permite la autorregulación de una tarea. Se realiza un estudio longitudinal con 10 parejas de niñas y niños a los cuatro, seis y ocho años, y empleando una metodología observational. A los cuatro años los mensajes tienen baja calidad y el habla privada fluctúa pudiéndose afirmar sólo parcialmente su rol cognitivo. A los seis y ocho años este rol cognitivo queda claramente perfilado: el habla privada aparece no sólo en relación a la dificultad del referente sino también en el intento de dominio de las relaciones espaciales. Como conclusión se apunta que la identificación del habla privada en función de la calidad de los mensajes permite hacer visibles los procesos de toma de conciencia sobre las necesidades informativas de la tarea y del interlocutor/a.

Abstract

The present study analyses the relationships between communicative quality and private speech in a communicative situation involving spatial reference. Communicative quality is analysed on the basis of the messages formulated, and private speech is analysed from a Vygotskyan perspective, that is, as speech whose cognitive role allows the self-regulation of a task. We conducted a longitudinal study using an observational methodology with ten pairs of children at the ages of four, six and eight years. At the age of four, the quality of the messages is poor, and private speech fluctuates; its cognitive role can be affirmed only partially. At the ages of six and eight, the cognitive role is clearly established: private speech appears not only in relation to the difficulty of the referent, but also in the attempt to master spatial relationships. We conclude that by identifying private speech as a function of the quality of messages, the processes by which children become aware of the informative needs of the task and the interlocutor are revealed.
