RE: PPIG discuss: Representation of mental models
Hi Sue, Try taking a look at Gale Murphy's reflextion models http://www.citeulike.org/user/ivica/article/901208 P.S. Jim Buckley is presenting a paper relating to reflextion models at this years PPIG if you are attending.

I have carried out map completion exercises with hypertext environments, and although these may not be a true representation of mental models (what is one anyway?), there may be some arguement that they are not entirely unrelated. I wonder if something similar has been carried out in the area program comprehension.
