Summary/Abstract: In reality modelling rely on the knowledge that we have, whether they are real or imaginary, naive or sophisticated, our mental models are often constructed on fragmentary information, based on a partial understanding of what is happening and naive psychology. Most research on mental modelling focused on the study of cognitive processes that occur in the human mind in specific situations of solving problems. In general, these studies were given relatively little attention to how people interact with external representations of information or other persons when they are "immersed" in achieving a cognitive task. The paper attempts to offer a theoretical and methodological foundation for some of the mental modelling issues in the context of human-outside world interaction. A short review of the literature in the field of mental models proves that despite the successful implementing of mental models theory in computer systems design and cognitive psychology this aspect of cognitive functioning is far from being clarified. The purpose of this paper is to show how to build a mental model, how does the mental model working, the role of memory and learning in mental modelling process.
