The 11 pages that link to Mental model, each with the reason it gives.

• Human–computer interactionRelated: Design must account for the expectations people bring to unfamiliar system behavior.

• Transfer of learningRelated: A model of underlying relations can support performance when familiar surface cues change.

• User interface designRelated: People interpret controls through expectations about the system behind them.

• User interfaceRelated: People use expectations about system behavior to decide what interface actions to take.

• Mental representationBroader topic: Mental models show how structured representations support simulation and inference.

• Situational awarenessRelated: Mental models help interpret cues and project how conditions may develop.

• Interaction designRelated: Design choices succeed when system behavior matches users’ expectations.

• WorldviewRelated: Mental models apply narrower assumptions to particular situations within a broader worldview.

• User experience designRelated: Designs work better when their behavior matches users’ expectations.

• Naïve physicsRelated: People rely on simplified mental models when reasoning about physical events.

• Physics educationRelated: Students’ models of physical systems shape how they interpret equations and experiments.
