Mental models concepts for system dynamics research
James K. Doyle,David N. Ford +1 more
TL;DR: The mental models concept should be “unbundled” and the term “mental models” should be used more narrowly to initiate a dialogue through which the system dynamics community might achieve a shared understanding of mental models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mental models concepts revisited: some clarifications and a reply to Lane
James K. Doyle,David N. Ford +1 more
TL;DR: This article revisited a conceptual definition of "mental models of dynamic systems" proposed for use in system dynamics research by Doyle and Ford and commented on by Lane, with particular attention to the history and appropriate use of the term "cognitive map".
Journal ArticleDOI
The cognitive psychology of systems thinking
TL;DR: How established research methods in cognitive psychology can be applied to answer questions about the ability of systems thinking interventions to improve the nature and quality of thought about complex systems is described.
Book ChapterDOI
Measuring Change in Mental Models of Complex Dynamic Systems
TL;DR: As scientists who are interested in studying people's mental models, they must develop appropriate experimental methods and discard their hopes of finding neat, elegantmental models, but instead learn to understand the messy, sloppy, incomplete, and indistinct structures that people actually have.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can contingent valuation measure nonuse values
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline how potentially coherent, consistent economic values can be determined by use of contingent valuation measurement (CVM), and use as an example three different CV studies to estimate nonuse values for groundwater.
