Abstract: | The Early Career Awards, given for the first time in 1974, recognize the large number of excellent young psychologists. For purposes of this award, psychology has been divided into 10 areas: animal learning and behavior, comparative; developmental; health; cognition/human learning; psychopathology; behavioral and cognitive neuroscience; perception/motor performance; social; applied research; and individual differences. Five areas are considered each year, with areas rotated in two-year cycles. The areas considered in 2006 were animal learning and behavior, comparative; developmental; health; cognition/human learning; and psychopathology. This document lists the winners of these awards from 1974 to 2006, and provides the citations, brief profiles, and bibliographies for the 2006 recipients, Mark G. Baxter, Theodore P. Beauchaine, Angela Bryan, Seth D. Pollak, Brian J. Scholl, and Anthony D. Wagner. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
