Modeling Mental Models: Their Use, Adaptation and Control

, 2023
Using a proper mental model during mental processes is often crucial. Such a mental model has to be learnt and maintained; this involves mental model adaptation. Metacognition is applied to control use and adaptating in a context-sensitive manner. In this chapter, a second-order adaptive network model for handling mental models, covering their use ...

Computational models of mentalizing

, 2019
Humans have a remarkable ability to infer and represent others’ mental states such as their beliefs, goals, desires, intentions, and feelings. In this chapter, we review some of the innovations that have developed in economics, computer science, and cognitive neuroscience in modeling the computations underlying several mentalizing operations.
