Abstract

The Awards for Distinguished Scientific Contributions are presented to persons who, in the opinion of the Committee on Scientific Awards, have made distinguished theoretical or empirical contributions to basic research in psychology. The 2024 recipients of the APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Awards were recognized by the 2023 Board of Scientific Affairs and selected by the 2023 Committee on Scientific Awards. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the prefrontal cortex and its many faceted role in supporting complex cognition, Robert T. Knight has received the 2024 award. Through the integrated use of electrophysiological and neuropsychological methods, he has conducted pioneering studies, including the development of electrocorticography, a powerful tool for exploring information coding within and between neural regions. His research has had profound implications for understanding cognition and behavior in healthy individuals and in those with disabling neurological and psychiatric disorders. As an inspiring speaker and teacher, and a beloved mentor to many trainees, his impact on the field of cognitive neuroscience is immense."

杰出科学贡献奖：罗伯特·奈特。

杰出科学贡献奖颁发给科学奖项委员会认为对心理学基础研究做出杰出理论或实证贡献的人。2024年美国心理学协会杰出科学贡献奖的获奖者由2023年科学事务委员会认可，并由2023年科学奖项委员会选出。为了表彰他在理解前额皮质及其在支持复杂认知方面的多方面作用方面的杰出贡献，罗伯特·t·奈特获得了2024年的诺贝尔奖。通过电生理学和神经心理学方法的综合应用，他进行了开创性的研究，包括开发了皮质电图，这是一种探索神经区域内部和之间信息编码的强大工具。他的研究对理解健康人以及那些患有致残性神经和精神疾病的人的认知和行为有着深远的影响。作为一位鼓舞人心的演讲者和老师，以及许多受训者心爱的导师，他对认知神经科学领域的影响是巨大的。”（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，版权所有）。
