Things are beginning to happen in the valley again: the ms/tivo deal, sixapart buying lj, ipod & its clones, and tons more.
The digital media revolution we've been pushing for the last five years is finally here!

| an article on mental models |

Why do we need to document mental models?
Mental models should serve as an analytic tool, allowing us to clearly document users’ current mental images, vocabulary, and assumptions. Once the mental model is documented, we can create a target mental model—the model of the product that we want our users to have.
blah-blah-blah
This formalization lets us do that.
We can portray mental models using several key parts:
1. An image (needed if the mental model is of a physical thing)
2. A script (needed if the mental model has a process)
3. A set of related mental models
4. A controlled vocabulary
5. A set of assumptions
Comparing mental models is an even more interesting task. For example, most of LJ discussions rattle about conflicting mental models of current or historical political events. Another example would be mental models of certain political leaders, e.g. Bush, Putin, and etc. |

Ура! Ботинки на меху отменяются! Я не еду в Финляндию! Они наконец-то решили приехать на те же пару дней сюда. Сядем на лужайке перед домом, решим все глобальные проблемы.
Если гора не идет ...
Единственное, остался я без вишневого варенья. Всегда, когда езжу в Европу, покупаю несколько банок.
Даже самое дешевое европейское вишневое варенье лучше американского. Такая вот у меня mental model :) |
