Mental models are the theories people build to understand the causal behavior of systems. These are often partial, unstable and subject to change. They may be internally inconsistent. They may be superstitious and based on incorrect interpretation of evidence. They are important, as errors can occur if the user's model is incorrect or if the designer has a different model than the user. One way of minimizing problems is supporting conventions - another is to make the correct model explicit.

How do golden rules help interface designers take account of cognitive psycology?

Golden rules in interface design are principles that guide designers in creating user-friendly interfaces based on cognitive psychology principles. These rules emphasize simplicity, consistency, visibility, and feedback to ensure that users can easily understand and navigate the interface. By following these rules, designers can address cognitive psychology factors such as mental models, attention, memory, and perception to create interfaces that are intuitive and effective for users.

Concepts of mental health and mental ill health?

In some models, mental health is when people behave as expected in the culture in which they live and mental illness is when people behave in a manner contradictory to that expected in the culture in which they live. In other models, mental health is defined by functional behavior and mental illness is defined by dysfunctional behavior. Almost all models also require delusional beliefs for at least some period of time, but delusions can also be culturally dependent. There are many other models I cannot go into here.

Why do scientists explain their ideas with mental pictures and why are they called that?

Scientists use mental pictures, or mental models, to help explain complex concepts in a more visual and accessible way. These models help simplify abstract ideas and make them easier to understand by providing a visual representation that can aid in comprehension. They are called mental pictures because they are not physical images but rather cognitive constructs that help in mental visualization.
