Mathematical psychology is an interdisciplinary area of research in which methods of mathematics, operations research, and computer science in psychology are used. Now more than 30 years old, the field has continued to grow rapidly and has taken on a life of its own. This volume was prepared to summarize that recent progress in mathematical psychology as seen by some of the leading figures in the field as well as some of its leading young researchers. This volume received its impetus at the July 1992 meeting of the European Mathematical Psychology Group - a meeting at which many of the papers...
