1) Sources of Power: How people make decisions by Gary Klein Introduces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition_primed_decision It really resonated with me. 2) Thinking and Deciding by Jonathan Baron. Quite thorough and comprehensive. 3) There are also books on "TRIZ"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ) a technique for problem solving, which arose from the former Soviet Union.

Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions - Gary Klein http://www.amazon.com/Sources-Power-People-Make-Decisions/dp... (http://www.amazon.com/Sources-Power-People-Make-Decisions/dp/0262611465/) Also, Gerd Gigerenzer is a good name to look into. My degree is in Decision Science, so I'm slightly biased against some of the pop-sci authors. However Gigerenzer has a number of books that range from highly accessible to the academic. Also, he has served as an editor on volumes that relate the study of mental models/cognition to other fields. One example is: Heuristics and the Law http://www.amazon.com/Heuristics-Law-Dahlem-Workshop-Reports... (http://www.amazon.com/Heuristics-Law-Dahlem-Workshop-Reports/dp/0262072750/)
