I haven't read it, but from that brief description it sounds like they'll be focusing heavily on stuff like the Wason Selection Task. So, there are definitely experiments that can be done in this general field- but I don't know how Mental Model Theory interprets those experiments, whether it proposes new interesting ones, or how it differs from other theories in this field.
