Metrics for Explainable AI: Challenges and Prospects (2018, methodology): “A diagramming task, along with analysis of concepts and relations (including causal connections or state transitions) has been noted in education as a method for comparing the mental models of students to those of experts or their instructor (see Novak and Gowin, 1984); noted in social studies as a ”

Building Better Causal Theories: A Fuzzy Set Approach to Typologies in Organization Research (2011, background): “Furthermore, prior studies have suggested that the notion of core versus peripheral concepts is important with regard to causal inferences (Carley & Palmquist, 1992) and may draw a decision maker's attention to nonexistent relationships, because managers tend to automatically infer new events by…”
Fitting In or Standing Out? The Tradeoffs of Structural and Cultural Embeddedness (2015, unknown): “In contrast to prevailing self-report methods (e.g., O’Reilly et al. 1991) or text mapping tools (e.g., Carley and Palmquist 1992), we develop an analytic approach to measuring cultural fit over time using e-mail data that, although drawing on cultural content to infer cultural similarity among…”

The Measurement of Team Mental Models: We Have No Shared Schema (2000, methodology): “Furthermore, Carley and Palmquist (1992) discussed techniques used to depict mental models, and Ford et al. (1989) evaluated a related theme of cognitive process–tracing methodologies.”
Mental models: an interdisciplinary synthesis of theory and methods (2011, background): “The verbal structure identified within a text is a sample of the full symbolic representation of an individual’s cognitive structure (Carley, Fauconnier, and Sowa, as cited in Carley and Palmquist 1992).”
Environmental Context, Managerial Cognition, and Strategic Action: An Integrated View (2008, methodology): “…compare causal maps across diverse topical contexts (e.g., high and low velocity industries) and increases the relevance and validity of the emergent concepts by ensuring that the categories are distinct and uniform in breadth and abstraction (Carley and Palmquist, 1992; Fahey and Narayanan, 1989).”
Concept Mapping as an Alternative Approach for the Analysis of Open-Ended Survey Responses (2002, background): “Because they use the natural meaning embedded in language structures to represent meaning in text (Carley & Kaufer, 1993; Carley & Palmquist, 1992), they can be used to analyze both dense and sparse types of text.”
Ecological models based on people’s knowledge: a multi-step fuzzy cognitive mapping approach (2004, methodology): “The technique we have used involves creating cognitive maps through an in-depth interviewing process using the first two steps of textual analysis for drawing cognitive maps as described by Carley and Palmquist (1992).”

Enron is no Different” (2005, background): “Mental models can be conceptualized as cognitive constructs that help researchers to gain an insight into how knowledge and information are represented in people’s minds (Klimoski and Mohammed, 1994; Carley and Palmquist, 1992).”
