Explanation in Human-AI Systems: A Literature Meta-Review, Synopsis of Key Ideas and Publications, and Bibliography for Explainable AI (2019, methodology): “With regard to theory, analogy is generally regarded in terms of the mapping of parts, concepts, and relations (cf. Falkenhainer, 1980; Falkenhainer, Forbus and Gentner, 1993; Gentner and Stevens, 1983).”
Metrics for Explainable AI: Challenges and Prospects (2018, background): “There is a large body of research by experimental psychologists on mental models (e.g., Carroll, 1984; Gentner and Gentner, 1983; Greeno, 1977; Johnson-Laird, 1980, 1989; Kintsch, Miller & Poulson, 1974).”
LSTMs Can Learn Syntax-Sensitive Dependencies Well, But Modeling Structure Makes Them Better (2018, background): “…candidates of human sentence processing, especially in terms of memory constraints and human difficulties with center embedding constructions (Johnson-Laird, 1983; Pulman, 1986; Abney and Johnson, 1991; Resnik, 1992, inter alia), along with neurophysiological evidence in human sentence…”
An Evolutionarily Informed Education Science (2008, background): “…are the content-free mechanisms that, among other things, enable the integration of a current conscious-psychological state with memory representations of related past experiences, and the generation of mental models or simulations of potential future states (Alexander, 1989; Johnson-Laird, 1983).”
Differential Competencies Contributing to Children's Comprehension of Narrative and Expository Texts (2008, background): “For both types of text, the situation model is constructed inferentially through interactions between the explicit text, world knowledge, and the reader’s comprehension goals (Graesser, Singer, & Trabasso, 1994; Johnson-Laird, 1983; Kintsch, 1998).”
The Anterior Frontomedian Cortex and Evaluative Judgment: An fMRI Study (2002, background): “This metalevel process modulates the interaction among systems (Johnson-Laird, 1983; Kuhl, 1994), as opposed to within-subsystem conflicts, which may be resolved automatically.”
Learning and Teaching Programming: A Review and Discussion (2003, background): “Writing a program involves maintaining many different kinds of ‘‘mental model’’ (see, e.g., Johnson-Laird, 1983), quite apart from a model/knowledge of the programming language itself.”
Scientific Literacy: The Role of Goal-Directed Reading and Evaluation in Understanding Scientific Information (2014, background): “For example, a reader encountering the termmental modelmight interpret it differently if it were followed by a citation of Gentner and Stevens (1983) than if it were followed by a citation of JohnsonLaird (1983).”
Empirical Tests of Optimal Cognitive Distance (2004, background): “According to this view, people perceive, interpret, understand, and evaluate the world according to mental categories (or cognitive frames, or models, cf. Johnson-Laird, 1983) that they have developed in interaction with their physical and social environment.”
Firms as Realizations of Entrepreneurial Visions (2007, methodology): “As such it differs from the sometimes used concept of a ‘mental model’ (e.g. in Casson, 2000; Hill and Levenhagen, 1995) that has been introduced in cognitive science ( Johnson-Laird, 1983, Ch. 1) to characterize the process of reasoning in the human mind rather than its underlying cognitive frame.”
Learning to make sense: what works in entrepreneurial education? (2011, background): “Johnson-Laird (1983) argues that human reasoning involves both the generation of mental models, which suggests that knowledge is gained simply by the human being present as the experience occurs.”
The Role of Domain-Specific Knowledge in Generative Reasoning About Complicated Multileveled Phenomena (2007, background): “Mostly, this knowledge was in the form of propositions (declarative knowledge), and mental models (Gentner & Stevens, 1983) or imagery (Kosslyn, 1980; Pylyshyn, 1981).”
Commentary: Towards an Integrated View of Learning from Text and Visual Displays (2002, background): “That is, they represent the object based on a structural or functional analogy (Johnson-Laird, 1983; Johnson-Laird and Byrne, 1991).”
How Working Memory and the Cerebellum Collaborate to Produce Creativity and Innovation (2007, positive): “Ito (1997) provided an example of the respective operation of predictor and controller models that is highly pertinent to the learning of models of working memory activity by the cerebellum: According to the psychological concept of a mental model (Johnson-Laird, 1983) [see Footnote 3], thought may ”
Rethinking Reading Comprehension Instruction: A Comparison of Instruction for Strategies and Content Approaches (2009, background): “Studies have examined background knowledge both in terms of how it functions (Anderson & Pearson, 1984; Johnson-Laird, 1983; Van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983) and”
