Mechanical reasoning by mental simulation. (2004, background): “Many mechanical inferences are made on the basis of rules of mechanical reasoning that can be easily verbalized (for examples, see [2, 35 ]) or analogies to familiar situations [5].”
Epistemic Strategies Causal Thinking in Expert and Nonexpert Judgment (1992, background): “Research on attitudes (Abelson, 1981) and stereotyping (McCauley, Sitt, & Segal, 1980), mental models for economics (Hogarth, Michaud, & Mery, 1980) and politics (Axelrod, 1976) as well as for physical processes such as electricity (de Kleer & Brown, 1983) and mechanics ( Hegarty, Just, & Morrison, ”
