Eleanor Jack Gibson: Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award.

Acknowledges the presentation of the American Psychological Association (APA) 1968 Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award to Eleanor Jack Gibson. The citation reads: "For distinguished studies of perceptual learning and perceptual development. Following participation in and guidance of studies which have significantly advanced our understanding of depth perception in infants and young organisms, she has turned to the systematic analysis of reading. Her analysis and experimental study of the discriminatory and decoding aspects, as well as semantic and syntactical features of reading have indicated what must be learned. Her analysis of the learning process itself has delineated how reading is acquired. Always the experimentalist, she has elucidated the steps that must precede application in formal instruction. By so doing, she has imaginatively shown how to bridge the gap from laboratory to classroom." A biography and a listing of the awardee's scientific writings are also included.
