| Abstract: | The Awards for Distinguished Education and Training Contributions are given by the Education and Training Awards Committee in recognition of the efforts of psychologists who have made distinguished contributions to education and training, who have produced imaginative innovations, or who have been involved in the developmental phases of programs in education and training in psychology. These contributions might include important research on education or training; the development of effective materials for instruction; the establishment of workshops, conferences, or networks of communication for education and training; achievement and leadership in administration that facilitates education and training; and activity in professional organizations that promote excellence. Each year the Education and Training Awards Committee presents 2 awards. The Distinguished Career Contributions Award recognizes continuous significant contributions made over a lifelong career in psychology; the Distinguished Contributions Award recognizes special but major contributions to education and training. This year (1997), the Education and Training Awards Committee nominated 2 psychologists for the Distinguished Career Contributions to Education and Training in Psychology Award: Geoffrey Keppel and Edward P. Sheridan. The citations, biographies, and selected bibliographies of the awardees are presented here. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
