Qualitative Mental Models: Simulations or Memories?

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The role and impact of mental simulation in design (2009, background): “Causal mental models rely on qualitative relationships, such as signs and ordinal relationships, and relative positions, speed or mass (e.g. Forbus, 1984; Forbus & Gentner, 1997; Kuipers, 1994).”
Representing, Running, and Revising Mental Models: A Computational Model (2018, methodology): “Using qualitative models and QP theory to simulate human-like mental models in physical domains is not a new idea; this was an initial moti-vator for qualitative physics research (Forbus, 1984; Forbus & Gentner, 1997).”
Bringing appraisal theory to environmental risk perception: a review of conceptual approaches of the past 40 years and suggestions for future research (2012, background): “Mental model studies of other environmental risks also suggest that analogies between environmental processes often drive causal explanations of environmental risk by lay people (Bostrom 2008 ; Forbus and Gentner 1997 ).”
