 +===== Mental Model Theory Of Thinking And Reasoning =====
 +
 +Mental models are **minds representations of fictive or real situations**. Idea that mind uses "​small-scale models"​ to perceive reality was first introduced by [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Kenneth_Craik|Kenneth Craik]] in 1943 and the idea was further developed by [[http://​weblamp.princeton.edu/​~psych/​psychology/​research/​johnson_laird/​index.php|Phil Johnson-Laird]] during 1980s.
 +
 +Ih his book "​Mental Models"​ Johnson-Laird claims that "it is now plausible to suppose that **mental models play a central and unifying role in representing objects, states of affairs, sequences of events**, the way the world is, and the social and psychological actions of daily life".
 +
 +Mental models are **simplified representations**,​ **constantly changing** and typically **include wrong assumptions or contradictions**. ​
