http://www.boxesandarrows.com/person/11383 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:04:17 GMT Comments by George Abraham <p>I am assuming that this debate on mental models and conceptual models does not have an expiry date.</p> <p>I consider mental models to be broader in scope than conceptual models. Hence, I would like to propose that conceptual models are mental models that are transposed on the system or interface. In other words, a mental model that is now bounded by what the system makes visible or implies in terms of tasks/goals that can be completed, and how to go about doing them.</p> <p>I hope this explanation compliments the comment made just before this one.</p> http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/whats_your_idea_of_a_mental_model_#content_12946 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/whats_your_idea_of_a_mental_model_#content_12946 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:04:17 GMT George Abraham <p>Oops!
