This volume addresses itself to the ways in which the so-called
'new sciences of complexity' can deepen and broaden neurobiological
and psychological theories of mind. Complexity theory has gained
increasing attention over the past 20 years across diverse areas of
inquiry, including mathematics, physics, economics, biology, and
the social sciences. Complexity theory concerns itself with how
nonlinear dynamical systems evolve and change over time and draws
on research arising from chaos theory, self-organization,
artificial intelligence and cellular automata, to name a few. This
emerging discipline shows many points of convergence with
psychological theory and practice, emphasizing that history is
irreversible and discontinuous, that small early interventions can
have large and unexpected later effects, that each life trajectory
is unique yet patterned, that measurement error is not random and
cannot be justifiably distributed equally across experimental
conditions, that a system's collective and coordinated organization
is emergent and often arises from simple components in interaction,
and that change is more likely to emerge under conditions of
optimal turbulence.
