Resumen

Este trabajo pretende revisar el estado actual del campo de la memoria semántica, centrado principalmente en los enfoques teóricos que han surgido en estos últimos diez años en el marco de la Neuropsicología cognitiva, más en concreto, en el marco de los trastornos de memoria semántica causados por enfermedades neurodegenerativas. En primer lugar se aborda el tema de la naturaleza misma de la memoria semántica y sus posibles arquitecturas funcionales. Se exponen a continuación los marcos o modelos basados en modalidades específicas, el unitario o amodal y los de inspiración conexionista, así como los híbridos o mixtos generados a partir de los anteriores. Se aporta evidencia a partir de casos concretos que obligan a revisar y afinar unos y otros, para acabar exponiendo algunos de los trastornos de memoria semántica más frecuentes, señalando las dificultades metodológicas en este campo.
