Flowing Waters or Teeming Crowds¶
Gentner, D., & Gentner, D. R. (1983). Flowing Waters or Teeming Crowds: Mental Models of Electricity.
Retired. This is not a bibliographic entry. Our extractor captured an inline prose definition from an article and stored it as a work. The concept is real; this registry record is a parsing defect. This entry is kept so the citations that pointed at it still resolve, and so the correction is visible rather than silent.
Cited by¶
1 citation across 1 artifact.
Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Mechanisms¶
- Like/As Clause Template
- A perfectly-formed template wrapped around a badly-chosen source is still misleading — the hydraulic analogy would break if the teacher had reached for a source whose baggage overwhelmed the target.
This sourceGentner and Gentner show that the hydraulic model actively shapes electrical inferences and can generate errors when source-domain relations do not fit the target.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
