| Abstract: | 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 1989 were social, sensation and perception, and applied research. The citations, biographies, and selected bibliographies for the 1989 awardees are presented here. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
