Are We on the Same Page: A Controlled Adaptive Network Model for Shared Mental Models in Hospital Teamwork

“…9. In earlier work it has been shown how this modeling approach enables modeling of different types of mental models, for example, for mental models representing flashback experiences in PTSD van Ments and Treur (2021a), for joint decision making based on certain metaphors (van Ments and Treur 2021b), and for how a mental God-model can affect empathic and disempathic human behaviour (van Ments et al 2016(van Ments et al , 2018(van Ments et al , 2022. Other computational approaches such as described in Dionne et al (2010;Outland 2019;Scheutz 2013), use agent-based models (which usually brings more added complexity), dynamical system models or program code.…”

“…In Van Ments et al (2022) an adaptive network model for developing and using a mental God-model is described.…”
