¿Qué es la teoría de los marcos relacionales?

La teoría de los marcos relacionales (TMR) es una aproximación conductual novedosa alestudio del lenguaje, que hace especial énfasis en la investigación de tipo experimental. En elpresente artículo se revisa la evidencia empírica que apoya la validez de esta teoría comoprograma de trabajo para el análisis experimental del lenguaje y la cognición. Dicha evidenciase presenta en relación con dos elementos clave de la teoría: la conceptualización operante delcomportamiento relacional derivado y la estrecha relación existente entre el lenguaje y lasrelaciones estimulares derivadas. Los estudios revisados suponen un claro apoyo empírico alconcepto de conducta verbal propuesto por la TMR, a la vez que demuestran que dichaaproximación teórica constituye un programa de trabajo muy prometedor que, por el momento,ya ha generado resultados positivos en áreas de investigación que tradicionalmente hanresultado problemáticas para el análisis del comportamiento. Dichos estudios también indicanque la TMR puede proporcionar una explicación funcional de algunos de los hallazgostípicamente obtenidos por la investigación cognoscitiva acerca del lenguaje.
