ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to provide a survey of the recent developments in the application of nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS) theory to theoretical and practical problems encountered in the domain of psychology. For the benefi t of non-psychologists, it is important to note that the scope of psychology is expansive. Introductory textbooks are typically organized around the following themes: brain physiology and behavior, psychophysics, sensation, perception, learning, memory, cognition, intelligence and mental measurement, development, social psychology, motivation and emotion, personality of normal range people, abnormal psychology, psychotherapy and counseling, and industrialorganizational psychology. At the other end of the professional spectrum, the largest professional organization for psychologists, the American psychological Association, contains more than 50 topical interest groups in addition to its general membership core.
