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 eight 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 for awards in 1986 were social, sensation and perception, and applied research.
