Mental action refers to the action an expert would take to avoid getting stuck in the way stundents are getting stuck in their learning.<ref>Middendorf, J., & Shopkow, L. (2017). Overcoming student learning bottlenecks: Decode the critical thinking of your discipline. Stylus Publishing, LLC., p. 6</ref> The term is related to mental move. In Decoding the Disciplines both terms are basically tantamount. Sometimes mental move is used to refer to mental actions made transparent in Step 2 of Decoding.
