| Description | The plan for this chapter is as follows. It begins by reviewing and discussing the term “mental models” as it has been used in the literature on human–computer interaction (HCI), and in the neighboring disciplines of cognitive psychology where it was first coined. There is little consensus on what exactly is and is not a mental model, and yet it is too widely used for any posthoc attempt at a narrower definition to somehow cleanse the field. In consequence, I characterize several layers of theoretical commitment that the term may embrace, following an earlier discussion (Payne 2003). To illustrate the argument, several classic and more recent studies from the HCI literature will be reviewed, with pointers to others. This first part of the chapter is based on material published in Payne (2003). Book Name: The Human–Computer Interaction Handbook |
