When conducting experimental psychology, psychological phenomena are often described in mathematical terms and logic. How practical is the mathematical approach in experimental psychology? This paper aims to explain plain linguistic and mathematical expressions, how psychological phenomena are expressed mathematically in experimental psychology and how mathematical models are constructed, using examples of psychological phenomena related to sensation, perception, and cognition. First, it outlined the perspective, thinking, and utilization of mathematical models in experimental psychology, using some psychological phenomena. Second, it was introduced that several previous studies dealt with spatial properties of perceptual and cognitive phenomena, including the author’s studies. It is hoped that this paper will increase familiarity with and opportunities to utilize mathematical models in experimental psychology.
