Abstract
The Early Career Awards, given for the first time in 1974, recognize the large number of excellent early career psychologists. Recipients of this award may not have held a doctoral degree for more than nine years. For his pioneering and programmatic research on attentional difficulties in youth, documenting the structure, external validity, and clinical importance of cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS), Stephen P. Becker is a 2024 award winner. Grounded in a developmental psychopathology framework, Becker's theoretically rich and methodologically rigorous work has changed the way the field thinks about the CDS phenotype, including its measurement, developmental course, links with other psychopathologies, and distinct associations with functional outcomes. His recent leadership of a workgroup recommending a change in terminology from sluggish cognitive tempo to CDS documents his contributions in shaping conversations in the field and provides a foundation for the next generation of research and clinical attention to this construct.

早期职业奖于1974年首次颁发,表彰了大量优秀的早期职业心理学家。该奖项的获得者不得拥有超过九年的博士学位。斯蒂芬·p·贝克尔(Stephen P. Becker)因其对青少年注意力困难的开创性和程序性研究,记录了认知脱离综合征(CDS)的结构、外部有效性和临床重要性,获得了2024年的奖项。以发展精神病理学框架为基础,Becker丰富的理论和严谨的方法改变了该领域对CDS表型的看法,包括其测量、发展过程、与其他精神病理学的联系以及与功能结果的独特关联。他最近领导了一个工作组,建议将术语从缓慢的认知节奏改为CDS,这记录了他在塑造该领域对话方面的贡献,并为下一代研究和临床关注这一结构提供了基础。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,版权所有)。
