Abstract

The use of computational models to simulate unimpaired human psychological behavior is now fairly common, and use of such models to simulate impaired behavior has also increased. In this article I discuss the relation of computational models to behavioral investigation and to theory, with a view to clarifying what a computational model is, and what its value may be in investigating unimpaired and pathological human psychological behavior.
