Thanks

[edit]

Just wanted to say thanks to the people who wrote this article. I tried some different databases to find reference data for an article that turned out to actually be a section of this book.
Thanks.

Notability question

[edit]

I think this article is notable because the academic section of WP:NBOOK says that if a book is published by a respected academic press that goes a long way toward establishing notability, and it was. Also, in the theory of mental models, it is cited as the next major work since 1947, almost FORTY years earlier, since Kenneth Craik's The Nature of Explanation, the book credited with originating the theory. This is admittedly a specialized area and I realize this is a somewhat dry reference book, but I think a major strength of Wikipedia is helping to preserve information. For instance, a very good history of mental models on lauradove.co has disappeared from the Internet, and it was one very good source that cited this book. I plan to add more references to the article to help bolster my argument. Spalding (talk) 15:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
