Abstract
We use the models of cognitive psychology and the early literature on linear programming models to understand how experts organize their thi nking about models. We show that several different patterns appear in the way models are related to each other. This paper also is a kind of cognitive history of the formulation of linear programming models in the first decade after the invention of the field.
