Replying to LO29281 --
Replying to Lee McCartney in LO29281, who is "interested in setting up an
experiment that measures how managers cope with continuous organizational
change. I want to examine how their mental models effect their capacity
to change and how they react to that change."
Lee adds:

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of any evidence that so-called
"mental models" actually exist or are we dealing here with an assumption,
a hypothesis, a theory that mental models exist. How would we know that
they exist?
