心理模型理论认为空间推理依赖于心理模型的构建、检查和变化。实验1表明，在有多个解决方案的推理问题中，推理者只构建一个优先于其他模型的单一模型。实验2表明，符合这些首选心智模型（PMM）的推论比适用于其他选择的推论更容易。实验3和4支持模型变异由模型修正过程组成的观点。该过程通常从PMM开始，然后通过局部转换构造可选模型。难以达到的模型比仅仅是对PMM进行微小修正的模型更容易被忽略。
The mental model theory postulates that spatial reasoning relies on the construction, inspection, and the variation of mental models. Experiment 1 shows that in reasoning problems with multiple solutions, reasoners construct only a single model that is preferred over others. Experiment 2 shows that inferences conforming to these preferred mental models (PMM) are easier than inferences that are valid for alternatives. Experiments 3 and 4 support the idea that model variation consists of a model revision process. The process usually starts with the PMM and then constructs alternative models by local transformations. Models which are difficult to reach are more likely to be neglected than models which are only minor revisions of the PMM.
