Mental representation

A mental representation is an internal image, concept, or model by which the mind relates to things, people, events, and ideas.

Definicja

Mental representations allow you to predict, interpret, and plan even when the thing is not immediately present. They may take the form of images, words, concepts, diagrams or situation models. The problem arises when the representation is outdated, too rigid, or confused with reality itself.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to treat your own image of the situation as the full reality. It is also a mistake not to update the model after new data.
