In this interdisciplinary discussion on mental models, researchers
from various areas in cognitive science tackle the following
questions: What is a mental model? What are the prospects and
limitations in applying the mental model notion in cognitive
science? How can the ideas on the nature of mental models and their
mode of operation be empirically substantiated? The primary goal of
the research group was to work out a definition of mental models
that embraces the overall use of this construct in cognitive
science as well as the more specific conceptions used in particular
research domains such as cognitive linguistics. Theoretical claims
about the properties of mental models were discussed and their
tenability evaluated against the empirical evidence.
The volume is divided into three parts. Fundamental aspects of
mental models are presented in the first section, the following
part contains contributions to the function of mental models in
discourse processing, and finally problems of mental models in
reasoning and problem solving are outlined.
