Handbook of Mathematical Psychology. Volume I - III [complete set]

Beschreibung:

3 volumes 8vo (23.5 cm), XIV, 491 pp; VII, 605 pp; X, 537 pp. Publisher's cloth (binding slightly dusted and rubbed; endpapers and edges somewhat stained; ownership entries on front free endpapers). This complete three-volume set is the definitive reference in the nascent field of mathematical psychology. Volume I (Chapters 1-8, 1963, second printing 1967) includes Patrick Suppes and Joseph L. Zinnes on basic measurement theory; Bush, Galanter, and Luce on choice experiments; Luce on detection, recognition, and discrimination; Luce and Galanter on psychophysical scaling; William J. McGill on stochastic latency mechanisms; Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon on computers in psychology, notable for early computational models of mind; and Bush on estimation and evaluation. Volume II (Chapters 9-14, 1963, second printing 1967) features Saul Sternberg on stochastic learning theory; Richard C. Atkinson and William K. Estes on stimulus sampling theory; Noam Chomsky and George A. Miller on formal analysis of natural languages and grammars; Chomsky alone on finitary models of language users; and Anatol Rapoport on mathematical models of social interaction. Volume III (Chapters 15-21, 1965) presents Jozef Zwislocki on auditory characteristics; Leo M. Hurvich, Dorothea Jameson, and David H. Krantz on identification learning and visual problems; Bush on concept utilization; Edwin Martin on preference and utility; Luce and Patrick Suppes on stochastic processes; J. Laurie Snell on functional equations; and Richard Bellman on dynamic programming. A foundational collection at the intersection of mathematics, experimental psychology, and cognitive science, assembled at the precise moment the behavioral sciences were being transformed by information theory, formal linguistics, and mathematical modeling.
