Abstract

Recently, using the statistical methods for analysis of humans' relationships has experienced a dramatic growth by psychologists. Although, surveying such complex concepts is considered as a difficult calculation by mathematical or statistical methods, computational intelligence-based approaches are able to examine any kinds of complex functions. In this paper, a practical approach based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a helpful tool to analyze data in the field of cognitive psychology is demonstrated. To illustrate the proposed method, a psychology problem based on 5 questionnaires was designed and each of questionnaires was filled randomly by MATLAB. The errors of the network are shown by surface function, verifying the reliability of the proposed method.
