Abstract
Cause-and-effect relationships are essential for understanding the world, structuring and managing complex thoughts, and acquiring new knowledge. Yet, the concept of causality remains undefined and unbounded, leaving several key questions open: What role do causal linguistic structures play in cognitive development? How do they influence speakers' attentional capacities? And what connections exist between cognitive and linguistic abilities? This multidisciplinary review provides answers that converge in a new model of psycholinguistic causality, which not only considers a single perspective but integrates them all. In this way, the study of causality can be seen as a comprehensive framework, one that allows any language, population, culture, or field of knowledge to explore this fundamental relationship in human life. The aim of this monograph is twofold. First, it offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary theoretical review of what has been established about causality, drawing from linguistic, psychological, philosophical, and social perspectives. Second, it presents a psycholinguistic study protocol for causality that seeks to understand this cognitive tool as a multifaceted whole, yet one that can be analysed through distinct stages that must be considered together. This model is specifically applied to causality in Spanish, a language that has so far received limited attention regarding this cognitive domain.
