F. J. McGuigan Young Investigator Research Prize on Understanding the Human Mind
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) of the American Psychological Association (APA) biennially gives the F. J. McGuigan Young Investigator Research Prize on Understanding the Human Mind to a young psychologist engaged in research that seeks to explicate the concept of the human mind. Research must be from a primarily psychophysiological perspective, although physiological and behavioral research may also qualify. Dualistic approaches, such as those espoused by many contemporary cognitive psychologists, do not qualify for support. Please note that award is given biennially.
