Resumen

Este trabajo intenta abordar la teoría de los modelos mentales desde Non-Axiomatic Logic (Lógica No Axiomática). La teoría de los modelos mentales describe procesos inferenciales naturales de las personas y tiene un fuerte apoyo empírico. Non-Axiomatic Logic permite construir un sistema computacional basado en ella. Por tanto, si la teoría de los modelos mentales es correcta y Non-Axiomatic Logic puede representar la teoría, es posible elaborar un sistema computacional basado en esta última lógica que llegue a conclusiones como las de la capacidad inferencial natural humana. Intento mostrar que, con varios elementos de Non-Axiomatic Logic, esta lógica puede recoger procesos inferenciales básicos que la teoría de los modelos mentales propone.
