When I studied psychology, back in the seventies, "modeling" was what
people copying other people's behaviour was called. Now, I learn,
there's something called "cognitive modeling", which is constructing
theoretical models of cognitive functions. Fair enough, but the sort
of modeling I'm interested in is something else: the models that every
person has in their mind, of their environment, and especially of
other people. I would guess models of other people develop out of
modeling behaviour, with "internalisation". But surely there's some
psychology literature on this? Any pointers?
