The Early Career Awards, given for the first time in 1974, recognize the large number of excellent young psychologists. Recipients of this award may not have held a PhD for more than nine years. For purposes of this award, psychology has been divided into nine areas: human learning and cognition, psychopathology, physiological animal learning and behavior, personality, developmental social sensation and perception, and applied research. Three areas are considered each year, with areas rotated in three-year cycles. The areas considered in 1988 were animal learning, behavior, and ethology; personality; and developmental. The recipients of the awards are Barbara Boardman Smuts, James Patrick Connell, and David M. Buss. For each awardee a citation, biography, and selected bibliography of their published works are provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
