Mathematical Psychology is an approach to psychological research based upon the mathematical modeling of perception, thought, cognitive processes, and motor processes. This data is then averaged to allow for the establishment of laws that relate quantifiable stimuli with quantifiable behavior. This approach has limitations, but may be applied in a broad variety of psychological fields. If you're having a little bit of trouble remembering all of the material your professor is talking about, Varsity Tutors can find you an experienced Mathematical Psychology tutor who can help unlock your academic potential.
Here are some of the central concepts you may review during college Mathematical Psychology tutoring sessions:
- Theory of Measurement
- Decision Theory
- Non Numerical Models
- Underlying Calculus (Game Theory, Markov Chains, etc.)
- Signal Detection Theory
- Weber-Fechner's Law
The most important component of Mathematical Psychology is quantifying a person's response to a stimulus. In order to do this, psychologists assume an optimization model in which the human brain has evolved to react to stimuli in the most efficient manner possible. They then test how multiple subjects react to something and average out their responses to determine how an average human might react. This provides a baseline that future subjects may be compared to.
