        abstract = {The rapid advancement of computer technology has significantly shaped the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). As digital systems become more integrated into everyday life, understanding how users interact with these systems becomes paramount. This paper focuses on the concept of mental models in HCI, exploring how users perceive and understand technology to enhance their interactions.
This review paper employs two primary approaches:
•	 Current Trends and Results: This section highlights contemporary methodologies in HCI research, examining   recent findings that illustrate how mental models can be utilized to improve user experience. It focuses on innovative techniques, such as fidelity prototyping, which helps bridge the gap between user expectations and system design.
•	Historical Perspectives: The second approach investigates earlier research and methodologies in HCI that have fallen behind due to the fast-paced evolution of technology. By analyzing these historical contexts, the paper aims to identify valuable insights that can be re-integrated into current practices.
Another key aspect explored in this paper is the role of emotional intelligence in HCI. Understanding users’ emotional responses can lead to the development of more empathetic and personalized interactions. By incorporating emotional intelligence into design, systems can become more responsive to user needs, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction. In summary, this paper emphasizes the importance of mental models and emotional intelligence in HCI. By examining both current trends and historical perspectives, it seeks to foster a deeper understanding of user interactions with technology. The ongoing development of automated systems that prioritize these elements is crucial for creating user-friendly interfaces that cater to the evolving needs of users. As HCI continues to advance, integrating these insights will be vital for enhancing the overall user experience in an increasingly digital world.},
