espanolEl objetivo de esta investigacion fue estudiar la planificacion de la ejecucion de la tarea de la Torre de Hanoi (TOH) a traves de los gestos y la palabra. Se analizaron los efectos de la edad y la complejidad de la tarea en las discordancias gestos-palabras en 144 participantes (48 ninos de 8 a 10 anos, 48 adolescentes de 12 a 14 anos y 48 adultos de 18 a 20 anos) durante sus explicaciones anticipadas a la resolucion de TOH. Los resultados sugieren efectos de la complejidad de la tarea, pero no de la edad. Las discordancias gestos-palabras podrian constituirse en una manera posible de analizar explicaciones anticipadas a la resolucion efectiva de las tareas, y el nivel de dificultad podria ser considerado como un indicador de desarrollo. La pregunta de la relacion entre los gestos y las palabras durante la planificacion de problemas complejos es, de hecho, el centro de un apasionado debate sobre la estrecha relacion entre pensamiento y lenguaje. Tambien esta en el centro de la investigacion sobre la comunicacion y el pensamiento multimodales, segun la cual la cognicion humana se basa en los aspectos verbales y no verbales del comportamiento comunicativo. EnglishThe aim of this research was to study the planning of the execution of the Tower of Hanoi task (TOH) through gesture and speech. The effects of age and task complexity on gestures-speech mismatches were analyzed in 144 participants (48 children from 8 to 10 years old, 48 adolescents from 12 to 14 years old, and 48 adults from 18 to 20 years old) during their early explanations of the solution to the problem of the TOH. Results suggested effects from task complexity but not from age. Gesture-speech mismatches could be a possible way to analyze early explanations of the tasks, and the level of difficulty could be considered as a developmental indicator. The question of the relationship between gestures and speech during the planning of complex problems is in fact at the center of a passionate debate on the close relationship between thought and language. It is also at the heart of research on multimodal communication and thinking, according to which human cognition is based on verbal and nonverbal aspects of communicative behavior.
