DESCRIPTION:The Marschak talk scheduled for January 21 has been postponed d
	ue to the fires in Los Angeles.  A new date for the program will be coordi
	nated and announced when possible. Thank you for your understanding and pl
	ease stay safe.\n\n\n\nPresented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marscha
	k Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences\n
	\nSpeaker: Colin Allen\, Distinguished Professor in the department of phil
	osophy at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\n\nDrawing on inter
	views and other work that is being done for a book about the history and p
	hilosophy of "mathematical psychology\,” Colin Allen will characterize mat
	hematical psychologists as a self-identified community within psychology\,
	 united by their approach to mathematical modeling\, mentoring lineages an
	d institutional structures such as a journal\, and societies on three cont
	inents organizing conferences and summer schools.\n\nMathematical psycholo
	gists have recently been vocal about the need for psychology to move in a 
	more mathematical direction\, inspired partly by the so-called “replicatio
	n crisis” which many of them believe is actually a “theory crisis.” In thi
	s talk\, Allen will at the arguments of three prominent mathematical psych
	ologists and argue that while mathematical psychology does not lack small 
	“t” theories\, it has been arguably less successful in formulating big “T"
	 Theories that have the kind of scope\, generality\, and predictive power 
	that led Wigner to write of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics 
	in physics.\n\nThis talk is offered both in person and online. Light refre
	shments will be served.\n\nEvent Website: https://www.library.ucla.edu/vis
