Abstract
Mental Space Theory (MST) is a cognitive framework that provides a unique perspective on how humans process and represent information in their minds. First introduced by Gilles Fauconnier in the late 1970s, MST has gained increasing attention in the fields of cognitive linguistics, psychology, and artificial intelligence. MST proposes that the human mind creates and manipulates mental spaces, which are conceptual structures that serve as temporary repositories for information during cognitive processing. These mental spaces can be seen as cognitive containers that hold concepts, propositions, and mental models, and facilitate various cognitive processes such as conceptual blending, analogy, and metaphor. In this review article, the study provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, theoretical foundations, and applications of Mental Space Theory.
