Mental Models in the Formation of Scientific and Engineering Maps

Abstract

The mental models are formed according to the belief and they are applied for describing the situations and predicting them. The mental models are formed according to two principles: first, the mental models are as the belief structure which forms them in inside and indicates them in a reality form in outside. Second, the mental models are formed and made for doing many activities correctly. Behind each map or design, there is a group of mental models which form the decisions unconsciously and can be about doing a project. For example, what persons will be applied or what problems will be proposed and what works can be done? What is called "mapping" by many organizations can be a prediction for the future situation of their existing mental model. The mental models and their explanation and interpretation, according to the nature of semantic space embracing them, are the interpretive concept and the capacity and power of individual deduction. In the engineering works, having a correct mental understanding of the problem physic is very important. Therefore, in this article, we study the roots of the manner of forming the physical and engineering mental models in making the efficient models in the scientific and laboratory fields.
