It is argued that understanding plays a central role in modeling as a term of cognitive success and that it can be introduced as an essential notion for the discussion about the explanatory function of models. En las últimas dos décadas ha surgido en epistemología una perspectiva que rescata la noción de comprensión e intenta ponerla en el foco principal de la discusión sobre la modelización científica, al considerar que tiene un papel fundamental en la actividad del conocimiento. Desde una breve revisión de algunas ideas del pragmatismo americano y del inferencialismo de Mauricio Suárez, el objetivo de este trabajo es proponer una definición inferencial de la comprensión científica. Se afirma que la comprensión cumple un papel central en la práctica de la modelización, como término de éxito cognitivo, y que puede introducirse como una noción importante para la discusión acerca de la función explicativa que tienen los modelos.
