Computational Modeling of Cognition and Behavior Simon Farrell and Stephan Lewandowsky is an English-language printed textbook about computational modeling in the behavioral sciences. This book presents an integrated framework for developing, fitting, and testing models in psychology and related disciplines.
The authors cover both the theoretical foundations of cognition and behavior and practical applications. Key topics include maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, hierarchical and mixture models, and model comparison as a core aspect of scientific inference.
Computational modeling is thereby made accessible to researchers and students who want to deepen their understanding of cognitive research and psychological methodology. The content aligns with themes such as cognition and behavior, psychological methodology, and research & methodology within the behavioral sciences.
