Abstract
The origins of the use of mathematics in psychology
are reviewed briefly as an introduction to the development
of a mathematical learning theory. The role of the model,
especia1ly the mathematical model, in theory construction
is discussed. The mathematical theories presented are
Bates' statistical model and Bush and Mosteller's stochastic
model tor learning. These models are 1nterpreted 1n terms
of several learning phenomena: acquisition and extinction,
spontaneous recovery and regression, and generalization and
discrimination.
