How people think and behave is guided by their mental models, that is, their simplified personalized representations of the world around them. Mental models have been advanced as a way to understand a range of environmental decisions from natural resource management through to conservation decisions and sustainable behaviour. In this seminar researchers from across UQ will discuss how they have used mental models in their research and will highlight advantages and challenges of the mental models approach.
Speakers: Dr Duan Biggs (School of Biological Sciences), Dr Natalie Jones (School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry), Professor Helen Ross (School of Agricultural and Food Sciences)
