Users can accurately operate user interfaces by giving the design that support structuring a mental model. Then, grasping the elements for structuring mental models is important for friendly design. In this study, we aimed at grasping the elements for structuring mental models by examining 9 elements reported previous study. Firstly, the level of structuring a mental model and the utterances were obtained by operation experiment. The utterances were classified into 9 categories depending on 9 elements and were counted. The elements were examined from a connection between the level and the number of utterances in each element. Additionally, analyses were conducted to grasp the relationship among the elements from 4 aspects. As a result, the elements were narrowed down to 7 from 9. Then, each elements and the relationship among them were discussed.
