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.

This award is given to a psychologist whose research has led to important discoveries or developments in the field of applied psychology. To be eligible, this research should have led to innovative applications in an area of psychological practice, including but not limited to assessment, consultation, instruction, or intervention (either direct or indirect). Research involving the original development of procedures, methodologies, or technical skills that significantly improve the application of psychological knowledge and provide direct and immediate solutions to practical problem areas will be considered, as will research that has informed psychologists on how better to observe, define, predict, or control behavior. Original integration of existing theories or knowledge is also eligible for consideration. In previous years, this award was called the Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Knowledge. The name was changed in 2003 to better describe this award. The 2024 recipients of the APA Distinguished Professional Contributions Awards were selected by the 2023 Board of Professional Affairs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

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. Anna E. F. Weinberg is a 2024 award winner, for combining the absolute highest level of expertise in both psychopathology and psychophysiology; for pursuing systematic research that leverages neurophysiological measures to better understand more specific pathways that link stressful experiences to internalizing disorders (i.e., anxiety and depression) using within-person, longitudinal, family history, high-risk, and experimental designs; and for further elucidating developmental and interpersonal contexts that impact these associations. Her programmatic work has shaped our understanding of reward-related neural activity evident in event-related potentials, and how individual differences in reward responsiveness can function mechanistically in the etiopathogenesis of depression.

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 outstanding contributions to the computational understanding of 'intuitive theories' in cognition and their development in children, Tomer Ullman is a 2024 award winner. His work on intuitive physics has illuminated an approximate mental model of object dynamics, and his work on intuitive psychology has illuminated a rich mental model of other minds. He has used innovative computational methods to formalize these ideas and tested them in elegant experiments. His work has also contributed to the study of artificial intelligence, showing how machines with humanlike intelligence can be constructed.

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. For outstanding contributions to understanding attitudes and social influence, especially the development of the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) which identified relatively thoughtful and nonthoughtful routes to persuasion along with the different antecedents (e.g., personal relevance; need for cognition) and consequences (e.g., attitude stability, prediction of behavior) of the two paths, Richard E. Petty is a 2024 award winner. The ELM presaged many issues that became prominent in other dual-process and system theories. Richard E. Petty's notable contributions also extend to work on embodied cognition, attitude strength, metacognition (especially bias correction and self-validation processes), research methods, and the training of many graduate students and postdocs who have gone on to prominent careers.

This award is intended to recognize outstanding practitioners in psychology. "Lisa Kearney is a deeply deserving recipient of the 2024 APA Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Institutional Practice. Her efforts in program development, administration, and policy have contributed hugely to patient care provided by the Veterans Health Administration, to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and to health care in the United States generally. She has played key roles in implementing Veterans Health Administration mental health policy, leadership of the Veterans Crisis Line, and implementing VA's National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide and the White House Strategy for Reducing Military and Veteran Suicide. She is currently in a direct advisory role to the secretary of VA, ensuring implementation of VA's top priorities in health care through coordination across the system, other federal agencies, and the White House. Dr. Kearney plays an unprecedented role in guiding VA mental health care, its integration in overall health care, and improvement of the system of care. She displays impressive leadership skills, including critical, timely vision, and the ability to guide senior colleagues to work collaboratively together. Her efforts have been vital in VA's steady transition toward team-based, patient-centered primary care, with steady integration of mental health and behavioral health care into primary and specialty care.

This award is intended to recognize outstanding practitioners in psychology. Nominations are considered for psychologists working in a wide variety of institutional practice settings (e.g., schools, military, state hospital, Department of Veterans Affairs). Services provided to diverse client groups or patient populations, including but not limited to children/ adolescents/adults/older adults, urban/rural/frontier populations, minority populations, and persons with serious mental illness, are considered. Contributions are judged distinguished by virtue of peer recognition, advancement of the public's recognition of psychology as a profession, relevant professional association honors, or other meritorious accomplishments denoting excellence as a practitioner, including improvement of institutional service delivery systems or development of psychologically informed public policy. The 2024 recipient of the APA Distinguished Professional Contributions Awards was selected by the 2023 Board of Professional Affairs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

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."
