Mental models are complex and multi-faceted, so they cannot Be adequately represented using any single form of assessment. After reviewing traditional methods for manifesting and representing mental models, we describe how Mindtools can be used by learners to externalize their mental models using different tools that represent different kinds of knowledge.
