Comments on the comments made by Brown et al. (see record 2013-24609-001). The article by Brown et al. regarding the Fredrickson and Losada (see record 2005-11834-001) article discussed the use of differential equations in science and repeated our earlier observation (Luoma, Hämäläinen, & Saarinen, 2008) that there is lack of justification for the use of the Lorenz equations in the latter article. In this comment we want to point out that Brown et al. presented a very narrow view on mathematical modeling in behavioral research. We describe how the conceptual use of mathematical models is essential in many fields.
布朗等人评论（参见记录 2013-24609-001）。布朗等人关于弗雷德里克森和洛萨达（参见记录 2005-11834-001）的文章讨论了微分方程在科学中的应用，并重复了我们之前的观察结果（Luoma、Hämäläinen 和 Saarinen，2008），即后者的文章中使用洛伦兹方程缺乏正当理由。在这个评论中，我们想指出，布朗等人对行为研究中的数学建模提出了非常狭隘的观点。我们描述了在许多领域中，数学模型的概念性使用是如何必不可少的。
