In this chapter, I provide a summary of findings on more advanced issues in the same three areas discussed in Chapter 19: analogy, imagistic simulations in thought experiments, and model construction. This is followed by discussions of evidence for the importance of imagery in the expert investigations, and the importance of transfer of imagery from source schemas to models, and lastly by a section on the methodology of this study.
