| Sumario: | The mental models subject is presented particularly in the light of Johnson-Laird’s theory. Views from different authors are also presented but the emphasis lies in JohsonLaird’s approach, proposing mental models as a third path in the images x propositions debate.

In addition, the methodology of research studies are provided. Essentially, the aim of the paper is to provide an introduction to the mental models topic, having science education research in mind. |
