La hipótesis del distanciamiento se ha propuesto como una explicación de cómo se adquiere un importante aspecto del desarrollo psicológico: la competencia representational. La hipótesis es que el desarrollo cognitivo se ve favorecido por la competencia en el manejo de la capacidad cognitiva que permite separar al sujeto del entorno inmediato. La hipótesis se basa en dos tipos significativos de interacciones que los niñ experimentan: las interaccionescon objetosy situaciones, y las que implican relaciones interpersonales. Las estrategias de distanciamiento tienen que ver con la forma en que los padres se sirven de esos objetos y situaciones, así como de esas relaciones interpersonales, en sus actividades conjuntas con los niñ. Las investigacionesa que se alude en este artículo toman en consideración los problemas relacionados con la coherencia y los cambios en las creencias de los padres, así como su papel en el desarrollo de sistemas representacionales en el niño.
