English to Spanish: The Psychology of Thinking General field: Other Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English The study of speech disorders due to brain injury or disease suggests that patients can think without having adequate control over their language. Some patients, for example, fail to find the names of objects presented to them and are unable to describe simple events which they witness; they even find it difficult to interpret long written notices. But they succeed in playing games of chess or draughts. They can use the concepts needed for chess playing or draughts playing but are unable to use many of the concepts in ordinary language. How they manage to do this we do not know. Yet animals such as Köhler’s chimpanzees can solve problems by working out strategies such as the invention of implements or climbing aids when such animals have no language beyond a few warning cries. Intelligent or “insightful” behaviour is not dependent in the case of monkeys on language skills: presumably human beings have various capacities for thinking situations which are likewise independent of language.
(Robert Thomson, The Psychology of Thinking)
Translation - Spanish El estudio de los trastornos del lenguaje debido a una lesión o enfermedad cerebral sugiere que los pacientes pueden pensar, aunque carezcan del domino adecuado del lenguaje. Algunos pacientes, por ejemplo, no atinan con los nombres de objetos que se les presentan y no pueden describir acontecimientos sencillos que presencian; aun encuentran difícil interpretar largos avisos escritos, pero pueden jugar al ajedrez o a las damas. Son capaces de usar los conceptos necesarios para jugar esos juegos, pero no pueden utilizar muchos de los conceptos en el lenguaje corriente. Cómo logran hacerlo no sabemos. Incluso, animales como los chimpancés de Köhler pueden solucionar problemas a través de estrategias como la invención de implementos o auxilios para trepar aunque tales animales no tengan más lenguaje que unos pocos gritos de advertencia. El comportamiento inteligente o intuitivo no es dependiente, en el caso de los monos, de habilidades lingüísticas: es de suponer que los seres humanos también tengan varias capacidades mentales para situaciones en las que se requiere pensar, las cuales son, asimismo, independientes del lenguaje.
