  • - An Integrated Computational Model of A Perceptual-motor System
    av William R. Uttal
    1 214,-

  • av David J. Murray
    582,-

    With an emphasis on developments taking place in Germany during the nineteenth century, this book provides in-depth examinations of the key contributions made by the pioneers of scientific psychology. Their works brought measurement and mathematics into the study of the mind.Through unique analysis of measurement theory by Whewell, mathematical developments by Gauss, and theories of mental processes developed by Herbart, Weber, Fechner, Helmholtz, Müller, Delboeuf and others, this volume maps the beliefs, discoveries, and interactions that constitute the very origins of psychophysics and its offspring Experimental Psychology. Murray and Link expertly combine nuanced understanding of linguistic and historic factors to identify theoretical approaches to relating physicalintensities and psychological magnitudes. With an eye to interactions and influences on future work in the field, the volume illustrates the important legacy that mathematical developments in the nineteenth century have for twentieth and twenty-first century psychologists.This detailed and engaging account fills a deep gap in the history of psychology. The Creation of Scientific Psychology will appeal to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of history of psychology, psychophysics, scientific, and mathematical psychology.

  • - A Festschrift for James T. Townsend
     
    2 007,-

    In this two volume festschrift, contributors explore the theoretical developments (Volume I) and applications (Volume II) in traditional cognitive psychology domains, and model other areas of human performance that benefit from rigorous mathematical approaches. It brings together former classmates, students and colleagues of Dr. James T. Townsend, a pioneering researcher in the field since the early 1960s, to provide a current overview of mathematical modeling in psychology. TownsendΓÇÖs research critically emphasized a need for rigor in the practice of cognitive modeling, and for providing mathematical definition and structure to ill-defined psychological topics. The research captured demonstrates how the interplay of theory and application, bridged by rigorous mathematics, can move cognitive modeling forward.

  • - On the Accessibility of Mental Processes

    This book examines the question--are mental processes accessible-- within the context of reviewing the past, present, and desirable future of behaviorism.

  •  
    764,-

    This volume addresses the relatively underexplored methodology of localist (as opposed to distributed) connectionist modeling of cognitive processes. It will interest experimental psychologists and cognitive scientists, both theoretical and applied.

    This volume brings together outstanding researchers from around the world whose mathematical psychological approach adds rigor and specificity to our models of behavioral phenomena. For experimental psychologists, particularly mathematical psychologists.

  • - Measurement-Theoretical and Experimental Approaches
    av R. Duncan Luce
    764,-

    This new monograph presents Dr. Luce's current understanding of the behavioral properties people exhibit (or Should exhibit) when they make selections among alternatives and how these properties lead to numerical reprentations of those preferences.

  • - The Structural Nature of Conceptual Representation and Processing
    av USA) Vigo & Ronaldo (Ohio University
    620 - 2 265,-

  •  
    210,-

    Measurement and Representation of Sensations offers a glimpse into the most sophisticated current mathematical approaches to psychophysical problems. In this book, editors Hans Colonius and Ehtibar N. Dzhafarov, top scholars in the field, present

  • av Louis Narens
    692,-

    This book examines the basis for measurement- how to measure what we measure and the meaning of what we measure. It is expected to appeal to those interested in measurement in the fields of psych, econ, med, edu, soc, & other applied social sciences.

  • av Louis Narens
    1 812,-

    This work examines the basis for measurement - how to measure what we measure and the meaning of what we measure. The text suggests that empiricalness can be intersected with any other concepts to produce "meaningful and empirical relations" and "empirical laws".

  • av Louis Narens
    755,-

    This book is designed to be an introduction to the theories of measurement and meaningfulness, and not a comprehensive study of those topics. A major theme of this book is the psychophysical measurement of subjective intensity. This has been a subject of intense interest in psychology from the very beginning of experimental psychology. And from that beginning to the present day, it has continuously generated major controversies involving measurement and meaningfulness.

  • - Laws and Invariants of Human Cognition
     
    2 040,-

    Comprising four parts this volume covers: theories of psychophysical judgment; timing and dynamics of human performance; psychophysics of memory; and neural and representational models.

  •  
    2 155,-

    This volume offers an overview of localist connectionism. Localist connectionism provides a means of evolving from verbal-boxological models of human cognition to computer-implemented algorithmic models.

  • - Psychophysics, Knowledge Representation, Cognition, and Measurement
     
    2 155,-

    This volume summarizes the recent progress in mathematical psychology as seen by some of the leading figures in the field and some young researchers. A variety of topics are covered, including: decision and choice; psychophysics and psychometrics; and knowledge representation.

  • - Complementarity Theory of Psychophysics
    av John C. Baird
    1 881,-

    This work admits the validity of the two forms of psychophysical theory by arguing that the same empirical phenomena should be conceptualized in two alternative, apparently contradictory, ways. The complementarity theory stresses the "mutually completing" nature of two distinct models.

  • av Norman H. Anderson
    214 - 1 828,-

    Presents Anderson's cumulative progress in unified social psychology. This book shows how these laws apply to topics in social and personality psychology such as person cognition, attitudes, moral cognition, group dynamics, and self-cognition. This work broadens the appreciation of Anderson's treatment of psychological processes.
