Summary/Abstract: Although the mental models theory denies it, precisely based on essential theses of this last framework, it has been argued that a logic of human thought really exists. In particular, it has been raised that the mental models theory has clear links to modal logic and that the logic of human thought should be very akin to a system such as K. In this paper, this idea is further developed paying attention to a work written in 2017 and in which some proponents of the mental models theory seem to reject any possible link in this way.
