The current state of mathematical psychology is characterized in terms of five paired contrasts : behavioural vs information - processing, linearity vs non - linearity, static vs dynamic, mathematical vs computational, and deterministic vs probabilistic. Each contrast is evaluated in terms of three basic facts of psychology : complexity, irreversibility of experience, and individual differences, and also in terms of three contemporary developments : computational power, brain imaging and recent mathematical developments. From these I draw some (low - confidence) conclusions about where I think the field is headed, and why.
