According to Hill and Levenhagen (1995), when formal mental models are developed, learning tends to become first order in nature (with the focus placed on maintaining equilibrium, rather than questioning fundamental values, beliefs, and norms). Firstly, the cognitive theory which directs the technique of representation needs to be adequate.

At the root of theory around cognitive mapping is the realisation that these representations do not necessarily have predictive value.

Systems such as these allow for the management of contextual complexity, and importantly may aid learning through mistakes and experimentation – with the benefit of this learning occurring in an environment removed from the real-world context (Montgomery & Scalia, 1996).

The theoretical basis for relational mapping falls within the field of cognitive mapping – the process through which individuals create, in an external form, the mental images or models that represent their way of comprehending the environment. Journal of Management Studies, 31(4), 525-551. 18-31). For effective community, Senge (1990) argues the significance of surfacing, testing and improving these mental models. 0000083926 00000 n
It is proposed that models based on processing relations capture the structure sensitivity of higher cognitive processes while they can also be compared with more basic processes such as associations. These team mental models are considered to be greater than the sum of their individual parts as they form collective beliefs (Klimoski & Mohammed, 1994; Langfield-Smith, 1992; Montgomery & Scalia, 1996). 0000077538 00000 n
