Good list. I'd add 'The Checklist Manifesto' by Atul Gawande ( http://www.amazon.com/Checklist-Manifesto-How-Things-Right/dp/0312430000/ http://www.amazon.com/Checklist-Manifesto-How-Things-Right/d... ), about how experts with decades of experience in highly complex tasks can still benefit from simple, short and obvious checklists.
- AJ007 15y agoI read that book, and I think everyone should, but I don't think it falls in the category of developing mental models. As for cognition, the book is a reminder, or a message, that humans have imperfect memories and we must use outside factors rather than obsessing an idealized form of godlike memory.
- technology 15y agomaybe it is indeed part of some mental model, when we talk about systems we also talk about having checklists for systems, so its good :) Here's some quotes from the book notes of Seeking Wisdom by Peter Bevelin: "Take all the main models from psychology and use them as a checklist in reviewing outcomes in complex systems." [1] "It's a great overview of the lessons of Charlie Munger (partner of Warren Buffett) - and his approach to checklists of multi-disciplinary models to guide clear thinking" [1] "Simplify and standardize processes, and use checklists to decrease the likelihood of operator errors."
