A contemporary idea can be based on appropriate modeling of the human mind using the available psychological knowledge. One of the main reasons for developing such projects is the lack of available and effective top-down approaches resulting from the known research...

Intuitive information processing is present also during the activities related to software modeling. The goal of this paper is to analyze software modeling from the perspective of theories which describe intuitive (nonconscious, implicit) information processing. The paper includes presentation of relevant psychological theories,...
