[Fis] "Mental model" ???

[Guy A Hoelzer]

Hi Krassimir,

Thanks for asking this important question.  I’m curious to see how others might answer it.  For me, the “mental model” is a centralized system for information processing that receives inputs from multiple sensory mechanisms and can induce action as a consequence.  In biology, this can be a centralized nervous system and whole organism behavior as the form of an output.  We illustrate this process as we read and write FIS posts.

Are you looking for more detail about the “mental model”, or is this the sort of thing you have in mind?

Cheers,

Guy

Dear colleagues,

I understand that it is not so easy to answer to the simple question.

But the mental models are very important for understanding the information and communication phenomena.

So, again the same simple question: What is the “mental model”?

Friendly greetings
Krassimir
