El presente artículo estudia las complejas y cambiantes relaciones entre forma y contenido en la psicología del pensamiento. Tradicionalmente se han distinguido dos estadios en el razonamiento y la solución de problemas: una fase de representación, centrada básicamente en el contenido del problema, y una segunda fase de proceso o razonamiento propiamente dicho, en la que primarían los aspectos lógico-formales. El artículo analiza la evolución desde los estudios sintácticos del pensamiento—centrados en las reglas formales que lo rigen—a los estudios semánticos, preocupados sobre todo por el contenido de las representaciones, para acabar proponiendo una integración de ambos aspectos dentro de una visión pragmática del pensamiento.
