Award for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions to Psychology: Marc G. Berman

The APA Awards for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions to Psychology recognize psychologists who have demonstrated excellence early in their careers and have held a doctoral degree for no more than 9 years. One of the 2019 award winners is Marc G. Bergman "for innovative research delving into environmental influences on cognition and affect. Marc G. Berman's research has engaged behavioral, neuroscientific, and computational techniques to expose how natural and artificial scenes can alter cognitive processes and induce affective reactions. In addition, his research seeks to understand the underlying visual computational mechanisms that underlie these effects. This work spans the study of healthy individuals and individuals with various cognitive dysfunctions due to underlying disease states." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
