What is the user’s mental model with respect to an object’s personality and surrounding interactions?
The users mental model would be to look at the object in question and to think of how they assume it works with having no prior experience. In other words, it is what they believe to be true about the object and how they intend to accomplish a certain task with that object.
How might this mental model contrast with the implementation model of the programmers?
The user’s mental model, I believe, would have very little in common with the implementation model of the programmers. The programmers implementation model would go into great detail about what the object does, what the object can do, and how they anticipate the user to achieve certain goals while using the object. I don’t think this would match up with the type of things that the user thinks they would do certain things.
