This article retrospects the development process of the psychology of learning its` influence on mathematics education. At the end of the article, brain-based learning science is introduced to examine its possibility to improve the psychology of learning mathematics. Behaviorists points of views such as Ckinner, Guthrie, and Gagne were summarized to discuss the influenced on the learning and teaching of mathematics. Gestalt `theories and Constructivism are also includes in the discussion of developmental process of learning psychology. In elaboration of the brain-based learning science, recent research findings and the possibility of its` impact on mathematics education were discussed. Since mathematics itself is the most abstract subject, it could be more challenging to identify the learning process of mathematics compared with other areas. The possibilities of identifying the learning process of mathematics are cautiously anticipated with a help of new paradigm.
