mental model
My interpretation of a "mental model" is a level of understanding a subject thoroughly. To use a metaphor, rote memorization can be considered a 2D understanding of information. The knowledge is there and accessible, but in only a shallow way. Mental models facilitate a deeper, 3D understanding of a subject. This type of knowledge is complex and can be approached from different angles.
