The Center for Computational Psychology (CCP) was initially formed in 1994 to provide an intellectual focus for researchers in the University of Chicago Psychology who are interested in developing and testing computational models of psychological processes. A increasing number of researchers in the Department of Psychology have been working on computational models of visual perception, speech perception, language understanding and development, categorization, conceptual representation, judgment and decision making, song production and perception in birds, and hormonal cycles. The Center was formed to provide an intellectual focus on understanding what can be learned from computational models of psychology.

As this interest has grown, there has been a concomitant increase in providing students with experience in the process of developing these computational models. Thus the CCP has also become a locus for supporting the use of computers in psychology instruction and research.

Currently the CCP provides the computational infrastructure support for faculty and students interested in using computers in their psychology courses to explore computational models, computational methods of data analysis, stimulus analysis, preparation, and demonstrations of psychological phenomena.
