Los participantes de la investigación fueron 30 estudiantes de una escuela primaria federal del estado de Querétaro (México): 10 estudiantes de segundo, 10 de cuarto y 10 de sexto grado. Se les pidió responder a cuatro adivinanzas metafóricas y explicar qué información habían considerado para llegar a sus respuestas. Los resultados muestran que: a) la comprensión de las metáforas presenta un patrón evolutivo ascendente en relación al grado escolar y, b) los participantes de los grados superiores tienden a construir relaciones parte-todo más integradoras y coherentes que los estudiantes de los grados inferiores, lo que les permite comprender mejor las metáforas de las adivinanzas. Los resultados obtenidos confirman los hallazgos de Calderón (2012) y Calderón, Vernon y Carrillo (2012).]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper aims to describe the development of children&#8217;s understanding of metaphors and the type of part-whole relationships they are capable of establishing when solving puzzles. The study was carried out with 30 students from a federal elementary school in the state of Querétaro, Mexico: 10 second-year students, 10 fourth-year students and 10 sixth-year students. They were asked to answer four metaphorical puzzles and explain what information they had taken into account to arrive at their answers. The results show that: a) children&#8217;s understanding of metaphors increases with their school year, and b) participants from higher years tend to establish more comprehensive and coherent part-whole relationships than students from lower years, which allows them to better understand metaphors in puzzles. The results confirm findings by Calderón (2012) and Calderón, Vernon and Carrillo (2012).]]></p></abstract>
