Floyd Henry Allport: Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award.

Presents the 1965 American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award to Floyd Henry Allport. The citation reads: "For leading the way to an understanding of behavior at both the organismic and the collective levels. Despite the unmatched complexities of the phenomena, his proposals are meaningful and verifiable. The main goal he has set before us is to see clearly the way events structure themselves within individuals and between them. The establishment of quantitative relationships between variables is seen as a means but not an end. He has followed less travelled paths, and along the way has developed fresh approaches to the study of conformity, attitudes, personality, and institutional processes. His students have been strengthened by his friendship and challenged by his towering standards of scholarship, experimentation, and exposition." Biographical information is also provided, along with a list of the award winner's scientific writings. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Fritz Heider: Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award.

Presents the 1965 American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award to Fritz Heider. The citation reads: "For his trailblazing thoughts about the fundamentals of perception, and for seeing problems that others did not recognize. Long ago he showed us the puzzle of the relations of things to their stimuli. Since then he has been thinking about persons and their acts, interpersonal behavior and harmony between persons, displaying in his own theory a tolerant encouragement of other theorists. Working within a long view of history and a wide view of science, he has provided grist for the mills of many experimenters and polish for the theoretical machinery of many thinkers." Biographical information is also provided, along with a list of the award winner's scientific writings. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Clarence Henry Graham: American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award.

Reports that Clarence Henry Graham is one of the recipients of the 1966 American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award. His citation reads: "For his studies of afferent and central mechanisms of behavior and of psychological methods. His early work with collaborators led to the first recording of electrical activity in single nerve fibers in the visual system. His behavioral analyses of the psychophysical methods, his quantitative measurements of the acquisition, extinction, and spontaneous recovery of the simple running response, his studies of area-intensity and intensity-time relations in visual psychophysics, his investigations of space perception, particularly stereoscopic cues and monocular movement parallax, and, most recently, his research on color vision and color blindness are models of effective, quantitative research. Singly they are important; in toto they are an impressive contribution to human enlightenment." A personal biography is also included, along with a listing of his scientific writings.

Nancy Bayley: American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award.

Notes that Nancy Bayley is one of the recipients of the 1966 American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award. Her citation reads: "For the enterprise, pertinacity, and insight with which she has studied human growth over long segments of the life cycle. With consummate skill in the use of available but imperfect instruments and with respect and sensitiveness for her subjects, she has rigorously recorded their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development from birth to middle life. Her studies have enriched psychology with enduring contributions to the measurement and meaning of intelligence, and she traced important strands in the skein of factors involved in psychological development. Her participation in a number of major programs of developmental research is a paradigm of the conjoint efforts which are essential in a field whose problems span the generations."

At his side, colleagues and students have learned dignity and persistence, as well as master craftsmanship in research, responding warmly to his quietly contagious enthusiasm. And while he prefers for himself a measured and manageable framework, he has given steady encouragement to others' views and efforts."
