El propósito de este trabajo fue analizar el efecto de la ambigüedad léxica en el procesamiento de frases a través de la activación, empleando dos índices psicofisiológicos, conductancia y tasa cardíaca, y tiempos de reacción.
Tratamos de comprobar los efectos del predominio de un significado sobre el otro en palabras ambiguas en relación a la frecuencia del uso, en un contexto neutro.
Los resultados muestran que no existen diferencias significativas entre los dos significados en las variables dependientes. Por tanto, se comprueba la hipótesis de Simpson del modelo independiente del contexto.
