Authors:
Toshiki Yamaoka

Keywords: mental model; construction process; time variation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to grasp temporal characteristics of the structural and functional models of a mental model. The temporal characteristics were examined from a viewpoint of thinking and memorizing. Tests were performed using wooden blocks. As a result, it was determined that the structural model is useful for constructing mental models; understanding only the functional models is not enough. For example, when the structural model is shown at first in an operational screen or user manual, users can understand the structure of the products or systems quickly and can operate them easily.
