Cognition can be defined as the brain's ability to build mental models of the world. Such capacity appears to be a crucial ingredient for the emergence of consciousness.

Incorporating visualization, or seeing with the mind's eye, into your daily life can deliver a range of benefits.

Visualization is a simple yet powerful way to help you reach your goals. By imagining yourself achieving what you want, you can boost your motivation, focus, and confidence.

In parallel, other studies have adopted an educational perspective, using mental models as diagnostic tools to assess and enhance student understanding in logical and problem-solving tasks.

Ironically, TPI originated in the civilian world but is now also widely used in militaries and police departments worldwide.
