It plays a preponderated role in the development and execution of many cognitive abilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect size of vocabulary in both of its modalities, breadth and depth, regarding the ability to solve arithmetic word problems. For this purpose, we conducted a meta-analysis on 16 studies related to the subject. We included studies done after 2000, with children aged 3 to 13 and without neurological problems. Our results showed a moderate but statistically significant effect of vocabulary on the ability to solve arithmetic word problems, without difference between its modalities. Results also show a high heterogeneity index that can be explained due to inconsistencies in the way the constructs are measured. El vocabulario se refiere al conocimiento acerca de las palabras que maneja y conoce una persona, y juega un rol importante en el desarrollo y la ejecución de gran cantidad de habilidades cognitivas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el tamaño del efecto del vocabulario en ambas modalidades, profundidad y amplitud, en las habilidades de resolución de problemas aritméticos. Con este propósito se realizó un meta-análisis sobre 16 estudios relacionados al tema. Se incluyeron estudios posteriores al año 2000, con niños entre 3 y 13 años y sin problemas neurológicos. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron un efecto moderado y significativo del vocabulario, tanto con respecto a la amplitud como a la profundidad del mismo, sobre la resolución de problemas aritméticos de tipo lingüístico. Los resultados también muestran un índice elevado de heterogeneidad, que puede ser explicado por las inconsistencias a la hora de evaluar los constructos.
