Abstract

Concern among mathematical psychologists regarding the present status of the discipline arises from two sources. One is the growing disparity between the rapid development of mathematical psychology as an adjunct to research and the slower and more uncertain progress toward a cumulative body of theory. The other is the problem of adjusting to the encroachment of computers and computer simulation models into the traditional province of mathematical methods. It appears that these problems might be alleviated by recognition of the complementary aspects of mathematical and computer simulation approaches to psychological theory and by a shift of emphasis from tactics to strategy in the construction and evaluation of models of both types.
