Todays Topic : Mental Models
Three principles of human decision making
First principle: Thinking automatically β We use narrow framing and draw on default assumptions and associations, which can
give us a misleading picture of a situation. Even seemingly irrelevant details about how a situation is presented can affect how we perceive it, since we
tend to jump to conclusions based on limited information
Second principle: Thinking socially --Humans are inherently social. In making decisions, we are often affected by what others are thinking and doing and what they expect from us. Others
can pull us toward certain frames and patterns of collective behavior.
Thinking draws on mental models --Individuals do not respond to objective experience but to mental representations of experience. In constructing their mental representations, people
use interpretive frames provided by mental models. People have access to multiple and often conflicting mental models. Using a different mental
model can change what an individual perceives and how he or she interprets it
Mental models also guide your perception and behavior. They are the thinking tools that you use to understand life, make decisions, and solve problems. Learning a new mental model gives you a new way to see the world
