Se exponen los resultados de un estudio sobre la emergencia de la capacidad de niños caminadores para resolver problemas, centrado en la manera como niños de 25 meses de edad acceden a la comprensión de un problema de compuertas, cuya solución les exige funcionamientos inferenciales distintos. Se aplicó una metodología microgenética, en la cual se utiliza una situación de resolución de problemas (SRP), en tres ensayos de una misma sesión de observación. El análisis se dirige a las variaciones interindividuales, a partir de las cuales se identifican tendencias en los desempeños de los niños. Los resultados ponen en evidencia la capacidad resolutoria de niños caminadores, manifestada en acciones sistemáticas, organizadas, automotivadas y en el uso de procesos inferenciales complejos.

The article presents the findings of a research on the emergence of toddlers’ capacity to solve problems. The study focused on how 25-month-old children come to understand a safety gate problem, whose solution requires different inferential functions. A micro-genetic methodology was applied, using a problem-solving situation (PSS), in three trials during the same observation session. The analysis focused on inter-individual variations that allowed identifying tendencies in children’s performance. The results are evidence of the problem-solving capacity of toddlers, expressed in systematic, organized, self-motivated actions and in the use of complex inferential processes.

Expõe-se os resultados de um estudo sobre a emergência da capacidade de crianças pequenas para resolver problemas, centrado na maneira como crianças de 25 meses de idade acessam à compreensão de um “problema de comportas”, cuja solução lhes exige funcionamentos inferenciais distintos. Aplicou-se uma metodologia microgenética, na qual se utiliza uma situação de resolução de problemas (SRP), em três ensaios de uma mesma sessão de observação. A análise dirige-se às variações interindividuais, a partir das quais são identificadas tendências nos desempenhos das crianças.
Os resultados evidenciam a capacidade resolutória de crianças pequenas, manifestada em ações sistemáticas, organizadas, automotivadas e no uso de processos inferenciais complexos.
