Mental Models - 3/31/17
3/31/17
What I think of when I think of Classrooms:
-smartboard
-chairs
-desk
-students
What I think of when I think of vacations:
-Beach
-relax
-food
-fun
-family
Mental models can affect my ideas based on what I have experienced. I'm primed to think about what I've seen or done.
Mental models are pre-formed ideas we have about things, for example my idea of a classroom is a basic high school classroom, but a car shop could be considered a classroom for someone else.
I am learning about myself that I have to get around mental models because they are kind of like stereotypes.
Going forward I am going to focus on not instantly thinking of the stereotypes, and try to be more creative.
