Psychological testing & measurement; Mathematics

Series: Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology

The field of mathematical psychology began in the 1950s and includes both psychological theorizing, in which mathematics plays a key role, and applied mathematics motivated by substantive problems in psychology. Central to its success was the publication of the first Handbook of Mathematical Psychology in the 1960s. The psychological sciences have since expanded to include new areas of research, and significant advances have been made in both traditional psychological domains and in the applications of the computational sciences to psychology. Upholding the rigor of the original Handbook, the New Handbook of Mathematical Psychology reflects the current state of the field by exploring the mathematical and computational foundations of new developments over the last half-century. The second volume focuses on areas of mathematics that are used in constructing models of cognitive phenomena and decision making, and on the role of measurement in psychology.

Reviews for New Handbook of Mathematical Psychology: Volume 2, Modeling and Measurement

Containing substantial chapters detailing applications of mathematics to a wide range of topics in behaviour and cognition, written by leading scholars in the field, and updated to reflect current trends and new developments, the New Handbook is destined become an essential resource for students and experienced researchers alike. Philip L. Smith, Journal of Mathematical Psychology This volume, the first of several, is a welcome effort to systematize the mathematical ideas and foundational issues that characterize modern developments in mathematical psychology. A highly readable resource for anyone interested in theory as it relates to the psychological and cognitive sciences. Richard C. Atkinson, President Emeritus of the University of California and Professor Emeritus of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, San Diego
