Models, Mental

Models, Mental: These are theoretical frameworks or simulations used to study and understand mental processes, cognition, and behavior.
They can range from conceptual models to computational models and may involve various approaches such as psychological, neurological, or computational methods.
These models aim to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying mental phenomena, ultimately supporting advancements in areas like psychology, psychiatry, and cognitive science.
By analyzing and optimizing mental models, researchers can gain valuable knowledge to develop more effective interventions and treatments for mental health conditions.

Disparity estimation proceeded in three steps. The first was to fit a multivariate two-part model for mental health care expenditure (one each for total, outpatient, and prescription drug) as a function of all relevant independent covariates, including appropriate interactions. We separately modeled the probability of any expenditures and the level of expenditure conditional on positive expenditures using generalized linear models (GLM) (McCullagh and Nelder 1989 ). This avoids the potential inconsistency from fitting an OLS model to logged expenditures in the second part without adequate retransformation (Manning, 1998 (link); Mullahy 1998 (link)). For the positive part of the distribution of expenditures, we modeled the expected expenditures E(y | x, y>0) directly as μ(x′β) where μ is the link between the observed raw scale of expenditure, y, and the linear predictor x′β, where x is a vector of the predictors. The GLM also allows for heteroscedastic residual variances related to the predicted mean (Buntin and Zaslavsky 2004 (link)). The conditional variance of y given that y>0 is assumed to be a power of expected expenditures, conditional on x. Thus, we can characterize the mean and variance functions as
Using diagnostics in Manning and Mullahy (2001) (link) and Buntin and Zaslavsky (2004) (link), we identified the optimal generalized linear model to have a log link, and residual variance proportional to mean squared (λ = 2). We used the modified Hosmer-Lemeshow test to assess systematic misfit overall in terms of predicted expenditures, as well as the model misfit for major covariates.
The second step was to adjust the minority distribution of need to match the White distribution while preserving the distributions of SES variables for each racial/ethnic group using the rank-and-replace method or propensity score-based method, described below. Finally, predicted expenditures were calculated using the two-part GLM and the adjusted health status distributions, and compared across racial groups.

Univariate summary statistics and distributional plots were examined for all variables. Neurodevelopment scores were approximately normally distributed and were modeled as continuous outcomes. Extreme values of manganese were identified using the generalized Extreme Studentized Deviate Many-Outlier procedure17 and were excluded from all analyses (12 months: n = 3; 24 months: n = 5). Covariates that are known predictors of neurodevelopment or strong potential confounders (including blood lead, sex, and maternal IQ and education) were included a priori in multivariable regression models, based on biologic plausibility. Possible associations of other potential confounders with manganese and neurodevelopment score were explored separately with bivariate regression. To the model with a priori covariates, we added, one at a time, covariates that were associated in bivariate models (P<0.10) with exposure and outcome at any time point. Additional covariates were selected separately for models of Mental Development Index and Psychomotor Development Index and included in the final model (hemoglobin, gestational age) if the manganese coefficient changed more than 10%. We examined potential nonlinearity of the association between covariates and neurodevelopment with penalized splines in generalized additive models, and found that all covariates assessed as potential confounders were linearly associated with neurodevelopment. For model building, we used all eligible children excluding outliers (12 months: n = 291; 24 months: n = 467). For final analyses, we additionally excluded participants missing data on covariates in the final model.
We also explored a potential nonlinear association between manganese and neurodevelopment by examining penalized splines for manganese using generalized additive models. Generalized cross validation was used to automatically select the degree of smoothing for splines. We used a likelihood ratio test comparing models with a smoothed manganese term to models with a linear manganese term to assess linearity of the manganese-neurodevelopment association. For linear associations, manganese was used as a continuous term in adjusted linear regression models. For nonlinear associations, indicator variables for quintiles of the manganese distribution were used in adjusted regression models. In this case, we assessed potential confounders for inclusion in the final model by examining the magnitude of change of these categorical manganese terms.
We fit separate models for each manganese measurement and for each time point of the Bayley assessment (i.e., 12-month manganese predicting 12-, 18-, 24-, 30-, and 36-month Bayley scores; and 24-month manganese predicting 24-, 30-, and 36-month Bayley scores). We also fit two linear mixed-effects models (i.e., one for each manganese time point) with repeated-outcome measurements. Additionally, for models of 24-month manganese predicting neurodevelopment, we considered 12-month manganese as a potential confounder. To eliminate concerns of multicollinearity between 12- and 24-month manganese, we used residual regression. Specifically, the residuals from a simple linear regression model of 24-month manganese regressed on 12-month manganese were calculated and then used in multivariable regression models in place of 24-month manganese to estimate effects on neurodevelopment.
Although fewer than 8% of eligible children (12 months: 21 of 291; 24 months: 37 of 467) were excluded due to missing covariate data, we conducted sensitivity analyses to evaluate the appropriateness of using complete data by comparing unadjusted estimates for manganese among all eligible children to those for eligible children with data available on all covariates. Statistical analyses were conducted using SAS version 9.1 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA) and R version 2.7.1 (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, www.r-project.org).

Adoption is quantitatively operationalized as the number or proportion of settings and implementing staff who agree to participate in the intervention. The qualitative key issues in adoption parallel those of reach, but are at levels of settings and staff/implementers. It is important to understand why different organizations - and staff members within these organizations - choose to participate or not; and to understand complex or subtle differences in those organizations and staff members in terms of underlying dynamics and processes. For example, compatibility with mission and current priorities, external factors, and changing context (e.g., policy changes, new regulations, competing demands) often impact why organizations and key agents within an organization choose to participate or not. Quantitative methods can be used to identify standard organizational characteristics associated with participation (e.g., size, prior experience with related innovations, employee turn-over rates), but cannot provide a full or detailed understanding of key and usually unmeasured issues. Often empirical data are not available on key organizational factors (e.g., leadership, reasons for trying a new program).
Qualitative methods are extremely instructive for understanding reasons for adoption or lack of adoption across targeted staff and their settings. To identify a staff member’s rationale for participating or not in an initiative, semi-structured interviews can be extremely illuminating. Such questions can range from more superficial and straightforward interview questions such as “Please tell me about thoughts about participating in initiative X. Why did you not participate in initiative X?” to more in-depth probing with specified interview techniques that get deeply and in a detailed way, at specific factors related to uptake of the intervention.
For example, cognitive task analysis [18 ] is a collection of methods that allow much greater understanding of the organizational representatives in terms of their thinking about an issue, including how they make decisions as a group. Central is the concept of mental model, or how one conceptualizes what something is and how it will work. [19 ] Such issues are critical to understanding decision making around participation and commitment to participation. A key aspect of interviews for understanding adoption is to purposefully select key informants that speak from different perspectives. This includes individuals “in the trenches” with little authority to organization leaders and those fulfilling different tasks to provide triangulation among roles for a broader, deeper understanding.
Beyond interviewing, observation can often prove insightful in understanding forces underpinning adoption. Observation may include a tour of the physical site to see the layout, structure and space; it may include participant observation and/or role shadowing in which observation occurs with interaction with participants to explain what is happening and why. A formal ethnographic approach may or may not be used. Observation paired with interviews, if possible, is likely highly valuable because it may reveal inconsistencies between participants responses to interview questions and what they actually do in practice.
In our example of the diabetes intervention, perhaps the intervention was taken up by the three physicians and not the two physicians assistants. Interviews and observation could reveal that the physician assistants in this setting only provide care for patients in acute situations and thus do not have the opportunity for referral to a diabetes management program. Examining adoption on a qualitative level allows for greater understanding of the factors influencing adoption at both organizational and staff levels.

The descriptive analyses, the internal consistency (i.e., Cronbach’s α), and the concurrent validity using Pearson correlation coefficients were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs), including measurement invariance, were done using LISREL 8.8 for Windows (SSI Inc., Lincolnwood, IL, USA).
Because all the items in the SSS-S were normally distributed (skewness = −0.111 to 0.802; kurtosis = −1.008 to 0.376), a maximum likelihood estimation was used for all CFAs. A second-order model was used for the whole sample and for the separate samples (viz., the sample with schizophrenia, the sample with other mental illnesses, the male sample, and the female sample). The second-order model was also used to evaluate measurement invariance, and the 10 models were as follows:

Model 1M/1G: configural model for mental illnesses/genders;

Model 2M/2G: all first-order factor loadings were invariant between mental illnesses/genders;

Model 3M/3G: all first-order factor loadings and item intercepts were invariant between mental illnesses/genders;

Model 4M/4G: all first- and second-order factor loadings and item intercepts were invariant between mental illnesses/genders;

Model 5M/5G: all first- and second-order factor loadings, item intercepts, and construct means were invariant between mental illnesses/genders;

Fit indices of a nonsignificant χ2 statistic, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) < 0.08, comparative fit index (CFI) > 0.95, and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) < 0.08 were used to determine whether the data-fit of the model was satisfactory [24 ,25 ]. Moreover, goodness of fit (GFI), adjusted goodness of fit (AGFI), Akaike’s information criteria (AIC), and consistent Akaike’s information criteria (CAIC) were also reported for the second-order models of four separate samples. A nonsignificant χ2 statistic was also used to test measurement invariance. In addition, ΔRMSEA and ΔCFI < 0.01 suggest that factor loadings, item intercepts, and construct means were invariant across measurements. ΔSRMRs < 0.03 and < 0.01 also suggest that factor loadings and item intercepts were invariant [17 (link),26 –29 ].

The cognitive composite used in these analyses combines measures of episodic memory, executive functioning, processing speed, and mental status and was chosen to sensitively measure the cognitive decline, which occurs before the first symptom onset in preclinical AD. Three separate approaches using a mathematically optimized approach,16 basic principles of neuropsychology,17 ,18 (link) and evaluating prior demonstrated domains in sporadic AD were compared and found to converge on the 4 domains included in the cognitive composite for this study. This composite is similar to other composites. 19 Episodic memory is assessed with the DIAN Word List test delayed recall and the delayed recall score from the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised Logical Memory IIA subtest.20 (link) Executive functioning and processing speed is assessed with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised Digit-Symbol Substitution test, and mental status with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). This cognitive composite was developed by normalizing each individual test to a z-score before averaging. All components except the MMSE are normalized using the mean and standard deviation (SD) of each component score from mutation carriers well before symptom onset (EYO ≤ −15). However, the MMSE has a ceiling effect, the SD among those with EYO ≤ −15 is small, and using this SD will overweight MMSE. A simple smoothing spline model for the rate of decline of MMSE was fit, and the estimated SD from the model is used for the normalization. The details for the normalization are provided in the Supporting Information.
Next, the 4 z-scores are equally weighted to construct a single composite. The construction of the cognitive composite creates a single score with mean zero and SD near 1 for participants in a healthy state (EYO ≤ −15).

This course (S1 Appendix) consists of 6 hours of instruction on building skills for resilience during the first clinical year of the MBBS (i.e., Year 4). In the respective year, the students are rotating in clinical placements for four days a week and are attending classes on campus once a week (labelled as “MBRU Day”). During the “MBRU Day”, students are offered structured, curricular training across various longitudinal themes, including but not limited to the resilience skills building course. The overall objective of this course is to raise awareness about the challenge of stress in the medical students’ trajectory and the clinical workplace, and to provide tools for understanding, developing, and deploying resilience skills. By the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to:
The course is designed in a way that inspires and empowers adult learners [28 ] who are assumed to be self-directed and are intrinsically motivated [27 (link)]. The postulation is that these learners tend to exercise analogical reasoning in learning and practice. They have gone through diverse learning experiences in basic and clinical sciences. As such, these learners have retained a substantial knowledge base which constitute an increasing resource for learning, and forms mental models which drive their attitudes and behaviours. Through the course and their engagement with the course content, based on the constructivism theory of experiential education [24 ], the students are encouraged to identify gaps in their own mental models and to adapt them based on their active participation in learning experiences. In alignment with Kolb’s experiential learning theory, reflection and reflexivity are fostered through the supervision of and continuous flow of feedback from skilled mentors, who are experts in the subject matter [23 , 27 (link)]. Moreover, students are asked to maintain a daily journal of reflections, where they document what surfaces for them during the session. Also, at the end of each session, the students are asked through an online survey to pinpoint one or two main take-home messages as well as the actions they intend to take to proactively build their resilience. As such, in between the weekly course sessions, the learners get to actively experiment with the application of the acquired knowledge and skills.
This (pass or fail) longitudinal course has three student performance assessment components: attendance requirement, Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), and reflective essays. Enrolled students are expected to attend all the course classes. Students who miss more than 20% of the class sessions are automatically dropped-out from the course. Students are required to come on time to each session. The OSCE component of this course is factored into the end of the academic year assessment, where students are practically tested (through simulations) on various skills including those related to resilience. As for the essay, the students are required to submit a 500 words essay reflecting on their learning experience as part of this course.

In order to engage with patients and elicit their attitudes towards DLT capabilities within a healthcare context, our methodological framework drew upon ‘upstream’ models of public engagement [31 (link), 32 (link)]. This type of approach is often used for engaging a lay audience with unfamiliar, emerging technologies, such as discussion methods derived from clinical research [33 (link)] and contextualising properties of technology within more familiar terms of reference [34 (link)]. Upstream engagement takes place in areas of emerging technologies, which have not fully developed yet or where no significant public discourse has taken place. This is also true for the application of DLT in healthcare. While there are similarities to traditional risk communication, however, upstream engagement aims for values and future visions as Pidgeon & Rogers-Hayden [35 (link)] note (p. 205): “[…] ‘upstream’ public engagement on emerging health technologies like nanotechnologies, to be successful, must move beyond conventional ‘risk communication’ based dialogue, to be future focused, broadly framed, and to explicitly incorporate questions of both public values and technology governance.” This extraction of underlying values, mental models and public understandings is particularly useful for design research in Human-Computer-Interaction and to elicit user requirements for future developments of technologies.
In order to frame participants’ understandings and conceptualisation of the potential use of DLTs, the project team developed a series of narrative scenarios. Narrative scenarios are stories commonly used for prototyping and speculative design in Human-Computer-Interaction as well as science communication [36 ] to increase engagement and foster comprehension of non-expert audiences [37 (link)]. This engagement allows for the end users of such technologies to add their view points. These insights can subsequently be used to further the design elements of such technologies to fit user requirements. Our scenarios characterised more familiar user interactions with key features of a DLT-supported data sharing technology. For example, unique features of a DLT based data donation platform were introduced through a narrative about a patient deciding to share their own health data with researchers of a rare disease. This was a deliberate strategy to steer the discussion towards debate around how blockchain might be used by the public in healthcare contexts, rather than directing the focus towards educating the public about the intricacies of the technology itself. In order to enrich participant discussions and broaden the debate, we included a range of alternative stakeholder viewpoints and data sharing contexts to help the public to imagine a wide range of perspectives [38 (link)]. This enabled our approach to be as inclusive as possible and create an imaginary space in which public stakeholders were able to think through the possibilities of blockchain-based health data sharing applications for themselves and others, identify points of concern, and relate potential use-cases to their own everyday lives, needs and future requirements without having to have prior technical expertise and knowledge of DLT. Our approach followed a structured, and iterative process detailed in the following sections.
First, we developed a set of narrative scenarios that reflected how blockchain technology could be used by a wide range of public and professional actors in healthcare data eco-systems. Second, we selected scenarios that illustrated everyday health data sharing contexts such as patients engaging with medical research or sharing health monitoring device information or application data with healthcare professionals (HCPs). Third, we tested a draft of our focus group resource materials, timing and framing with a pilot focus group. Finally, building upon feedback from the pilot group, we further refined the focus group presentations and scenario resources for subsequent focus groups.

Theorists of learning organisations such as Argyris,79 Argyris and Schön,92 106 and Tosey et al96 (link) identified three learning loops, namely single, double and triple.
Single-loop learning contributes to adjustments and corrections in regular actions—adapting routines and practices within the system without checking assumptions or underlying root causes.79
Double-loop learning goes a step further to question and influence fundamental frameworks, mental models and assumptions around problems and their solutions, resulting in changes at the level of governing norms, policies or objectives/goals.
As for triple-loop learning, there is limited consensus among the scholars about its definition.96 (link) Nevertheless, often referring to as ‘learning how to learn’, triple-loop learning involves questioning the very basis (learning frameworks and assumptions) through which single-loop and double-loop learning occur and influencing them to change. It improves how the system learns through deliberate changes in or producing new learning structures, processes and strategies.79 92 106 107

To ensure that open-ended text entries could be used to model mental status, text and EPDS pairings were identified for which text entries preceded self-reported EPDS scores within a fixed time. Two fixed time frames were selected. A 60-day window was chosen to reflect the DSM-5 criteria for major depressive disorder, which defines remission as 2 or more months of little to no depressive symptoms. A shorter 30-day window was chosen to reflect the timeframe often used by clinicians to identify depressive symptoms for a new depression diagnosis.
Participant data was first processed by grouping together open-ended text entries with following EPDS scores. Open-ended text entries within 60 days preceding an EPDS score were concatenated together. This concatenated text was then paired with the average of all following EPDS scores within 60 days from the last open-ended text entry in the cluster before the occurrence of a newer text entry. The same process was completed to create text and EPDS score pairings in a 30-day timeframe. With both timeframes, EPDS scores with no preceding text entries and text entries with no following EPDS scores were eliminated from the dataset. In models that included reports of mood, mood data was only included if within the same timeframe as open-ended text entries. Figure 3 shows an example of data grouped together in the 60-day and 30-day timeframe. Multiple reports of mood in the 30-day or 60-day window were averaged before use in the regression model.

To create a relationship-centered culture at our institution, a Physician Partnership Program was formed with physicians and a patient experience team who have expertise in communication. In 2015, this program implemented a suite of strategic initiatives aimed at facilitating the adoption of a shared communication model. The focus was on providing evidence-based relationship-centered skills to clinicians to foster a shared mental model for communication across all specialties. Identifying faculty champions to facilitate fundamental relationship-centered communication skills was a critical initial step. To train the faculty champions, a partnership with the Academy on Communication in Healthcare (ACH) was formed in 2016 to deliver high-quality content and facilitate skill-building and feedback. The Acute Care Surgery (ACS) and Trauma team partnered with the patient experience team to develop a new curriculum aimed at that goal. The curriculum focused on provider-specific skills related to communication. The senior resident and APPs were enrolled in the initial study because they play a crucial role in clinical leadership and have the most “face time” with patients on the floor. The team piloted this curriculum by designing a workshop for Trauma/ACS APPs and senior residents.
Approval from the Institutional Review Board was obtained from Stanford University School of Medicine. Our study design utilized an evidence-based model for program improvement [7 ]. It relies on the constant refinement of our curriculum from trainee and patient feedback (Fig. 1). This model includes four steps: an initial need-based assessment, design, implementation, and evaluation.

Mental models are theoretical frameworks or simulations used to study and understand the complex workings of the human mind, including cognition, behavior, and mental processes.
These models, which can range from conceptual to computational, employ a variety of approaches such as psychological, neurological, and computational methods to provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of mental phenomena.
By analyzing and optimizing these mental models, researchers can gain valuable knowledge that supports advancements in fields like psychology, psychiatry, and cognitive science.
This knowledge can then be leveraged to develop more effective interventions and treatments for mental health conditions.
For example, NOD/SCID mice models are often used to study the neurological underpinnings of mental disorders, while statistical software like SAS 9.4, SPSS 24.0, and Stata 11, 13, and 14 are utilized to analyze and model behavioral and cognitive data.
Additionally, tools like LD columns, AP225WD power analysis, and SPSS Statistics 22 can be employed to enhance the reliability and reproducibility of mental health research.
By incorporating these various concepts, approaches, and technologies, researchers can build more comprehensive and accurate mental models, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of the human mind and improved mental health outcomes.
