Abstract
Think about a thought. Easy to do but where does the thought come from? How is it created? Can it be measured? If so what in the mind is measured? This presentation describes a method for answering these basic questions. The answers derive from a new experimental method called Directly Measured Stimulus Differences (DMSD) and a new theory of mental measurement, a cybernetic process, for the creation of thought. The ideas of Prime Thought and Prime Mind are introduced.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Mathematical Psychology includes articles, monographs and reviews, notes and commentaries, and book reviews in all areas of mathematical psychology. Empirical and theoretical contributions are equally welcome.
Areas of special interest include, but are not limited to, fundamental measurement and psychological process models, such as those based upon neural network or information processing concepts. A partial listing of substantive areas covered include sensation and perception, psychophysics, learning and memory, problem solving, judgment and decision-making, and motivation.
The Journal of Mathematical Psychology is affiliated with the Society for Mathematical Psychology.
Research Areas include:
• Models for sensation and perception, learning, memory and thinking
• Fundamental measurement and scaling
• Decision making
