Resumen

En este trabajo se explican aspectos fundamentales del contrafactual, como sus funciones en el razonamiento causal, en la argumentación científica, en la modulación y amplificación de las emociones. También se describen los diversos tipos de contrafactuales y las diferencias individuales en la producción y comprensión de éstos. Posteriormente, se explican las principales teorías e investigaciones que han planteado el tema del significado dual del contrafactual: los modelos mentales, las teorías proposicionales del razonamiento o la teoría suposicional. Finalmente, se dedica especial atención a las pocas investigaciones que se han realizado en el campo de la psicolingüística sobre la comprensión de contrafactuales.
