==Computational models== Conceptual blending is closely related to [[frame (artificial intelligence)|frame]]-based theories, but goes beyond these primarily in that it is a theory of how to ''combine'' frames (or frame-like objects). An early computational model of a process called "[[view application]]", which is closely related to conceptual blending (which did not exist at the time), was implemented in the 1980s by Shrager at [[Carnegie Mellon University]] and [[PARC (company)|PARC]], and applied in the domains of causal reasoning about complex devices<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Shrager |first=Jeff |date=1987 |title=Theory Change via View Application in Instructionless Learning |journal=[[Machine Learning (journal)|Machine Learning]] |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=247โ276 |doi=10.1007/bf00058681 |doi-access=free}}</ref> and scientific reasoning.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Shrager |first=Jeff |title=Computational models of scientific discovery and theory formation |date=1990 |publisher=Morgan Kaufmann |isbn=9781558601314 |editor-last=Shrager |editor-first=Jeff |series=Morgan Kaufmann series in machine learning |location=San Mateo, Calif. |chapter=Commonsense perception and the psychology of theory formation |editor-last2=Langley |editor-first2=Pat}}</ref> More recent computational accounts of blending have been developed in areas such as mathematics.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Guhe |first1=Markus |last2=Pease |first2=Alison |last3=Smaill |first3=Alan |last4=Martinez |first4=Maricarmen |last5=Schmidt |first5=Martin |last6=Gust |first6=Helmar |last7=Kรผhnberger |first7=Kai-Uwe |last8=Krumnack |first8=Ulf |date=September 2011 |title=A computational account of conceptual blending in basic mathematics |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1389041711000155 |journal=[[Cognitive Systems Research]] |volume=12 |issue=3โ4 |pages=249โ265 |doi=10.1016/j.cogsys.2011.01.004|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Some later models are based upon [[Structure mapping engine|structure mapping]], which did not exist at the time of the earlier implementations.
