Psychonomics is a field of cognitive science and psychology characterized by the use of mathematical modeling to discovering the laws (Greek: 'nomos') that govern the workings of the mind (Greek: 'psyche'). The field is directly related to experimental psychology. The word is used most prominently by the Psychonomic Society, a society of experimental psychologists.{{Cite journal|url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/BF03210961|title=The founding of the Psychonomic Society|first1=Donald A.|last1=Dewsbury|first2=Robert C.|last2=Bolles|date=June 1, 1995|journal=Psychonomic Bulletin & Review|volume=2|issue=2|pages=216–233|via=Springer Link|doi=10.3758/BF03210961}}{{Cite journal|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24213933/|title=History of the Psychonomic Society II: The journal publishing program|first=D.
