F.M. Urban made important contributions in psychometry and is best known for his introduction of a correction in the "Müller-Urban weights." Born in Austria, he came to the University of Pennsylvania where he made most of his contributions in psychology. He was trapped in Europe by World War I and never returned to the United States. Myriad hardships forced him to abandon his original project of a study of the entire field of probability and its application to other sciences. Whenever possible, however, he pursued his interests in psychometry and psychophysics and strove to remain active in psychology.
F.M. 厄本在心理测量学方面做出了重要贡献，他最为人所知的是在“米勒 - 厄本权重”中引入了一种校正方法。他出生于奥地利，后来来到宾夕法尼亚大学，在那里他在心理学领域做出了大部分贡献。第一次世界大战使他被困在欧洲，再也没有回到美国。无数的困难迫使他放弃了原本研究概率整个领域及其在其他科学中的应用的项目。然而，只要有可能，他就会继续追求自己在心理测量学和心理物理学方面的兴趣，并努力在心理学领域保持活跃。
