Editor A Message From Division 6 President Mauricio R. Papini David J. Bucci, PhD Dartmouth College Division 6: An experiment in progress

A major challenge for Division 6 (and apparently Division President for other APA division as well) is to survive a new generation of young professionals who Mauricio R. Papini, PhD apparently do not engage in scientific societies as much as was done by previous generations. Thus, a present and future challenge will be to generate enough interest to attract new mem- Inside this issue: bers. How can we generate such interest?

It seems somewhat surprising to me that our Message from the 1, 5-6 division would be in this position, given current President levels of social awareness about the importance of psychological research on brain-behavior interactions and the comparative of cognitive processes. There are several ways of Division 6 2-4 generating interest for Division 6 among young Officers researchers, but, in my opinion, the single most important option is to hold high-quality meet- convention program. On the positive side, Historical Trends in 7-10 ings.

Sitting at effective program chairs, Victoria Chamizo the lunch table were several colleagues who had (Division 6), and Nancy Dess (Division 3).

There will be several symposia, sessions with oral presentations, and a record number of posters. In addition, several speakers of interest to Division 6 members will participate in the APA Convention, including David Buss, Nicola Clay- ton, Frans de Waal, and Paul Rozin among others.

Of course, one isolated event may not have a lasting effect. For this effort to have an impact among behavioral neuro- scientists and comparative , it will have to be continued in years to come. It is useful to remind ourselves about the strategic importance of participating in at least one major psychological conference per year, especially for those of us who work in Psychology Departments and do research with nonhuman animals. We need to constantly remind our colleagues that what we do belongs in Psychology for historical, scientific, and practical reasons.

If you plan to be in Orlando, I hope you will enjoy our scientific program. If you are not attending, I hope to see you next year in the APA Convention, in Honolulu, Hawaii, July 31-August 4, 2013.

Some Historical Trends in American Comparative Psychology

Donald A. Dewsbury (Based on a paper presented at the APA Meeting, Washington, DC, August, 2011. )

For many years comparative psychologists and others have seemed obsessed with self-examination, reflection, and critiques (e.g., Beach, 1950; Demarest, 1980; Hodos & Campbell,1969; Lockard,1971; Schneirla, 1946; Whit- man, 1899; Wilson, 1975). This, in turn, has produced a plethora of replies and follow-ups. Perhaps this is a func- tion of the marginalization of CP within psychology as a whole. Here I continue this trend with two quite different analyses. The first is an analysis of some trends in the Journal of Comparative Psychology (JCP) since its re-emergence in 1983; it is relatively short-term and quantitative. The second is a consideration of some broad trends in the field – long-term and qualitative.

In my history of psychology courses I discussed 15 post-WWII trends in psychology that I believe characterize the field. Here I address four of them: feminization, internationalization, collaboration, and cognitivization. (I real- ize that not all are accepted words.)

I analyze data from the JCP, the premier journal in the field. It was founded from the “merger” of Psychobiology and the Journal of Animal Behavior in 1921, merged into the Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology in 1947, and reestablished in 1983. I conducted two analyses: the first was on the content of issues as close to 10 years apart as possible: 1983, 1990, 2000, and 2010. Second, I considered the initial editorial boards appointed by the five editors of the journal during this period: Jerry Hirsch (1983), Gordon Gallup (1989), Charles Snowdon (1994), Meredith West (2001), and Gordon Burghardt (2005).

My first analysis concerned the representation of women in CP; the number in psychology as a whole has in- creased during the post-WWII period. In a few cases, it is difficult to determine gender from name. Nevertheless, shown in Table 1 are the percentages of female senior authors, as best I could determine, in the JCP for each of the four years. Clearly, as expected, the percentage has increased. As can be seen in Table 2, there has been a general, though more complex, increase in the representation of women on initial the editorial boards during this period.

Western psychology originated in Europe but is generally regarded as having been concentrated in North America during the 20th century. In recent years there has been a move toward internationalization with influences from places like Europe, Japan, and South America. This trend is also apparent within comparative psychology (CP), as can be seen in Tables 1 and 2. The nationalities of both the senior authors and the editorial boards have shown this effect.

In recent years there has been an increase in collaborative research, both within and among universities and countries. Consider, for example, the physical science papers appearing in Science magazine with long strings of co- authors. As can be seen in Table 1, even during the brief period since the re-emergence of the JCP, there has been a noticeable increase in the mean number of authors per article and a decrease in the number of single-author pa- pers. Single-author papers may be an endangered species.

Cognitive psychology has been present, though not always prominent, in both psychology and CP (Dewsbury, 2000) for many years. In recent years, it has become quite prevalent in psychology as a whole. Although classifica- tion is somewhat difficult, by my estimates, the same is true for JCP (Table 3). I should noted that whereas some regard cognition broadly, including such processes as perception, memory, etc., here I treat it more narrowly as referring to tasks that seem to require “higher” processes– more complex than basic learning and memory pro- cesses.

In this section, then, it is clear that there have been some consistent publication trends in the JCP over a rela- tively short time span. Most of these are consistent with broader trends but it is interesting to consider them in relation to CP. (contd next page) Volume 27, Issue 1 Page 8

My second approach builds on a framework proposed in a recent encyclopedia article (Dewsbury, 2010) suggesting that the insight into the history of CP can be gained by contrasting six approaches to the field. These are: Zoological psychology- which is animal-centered, concerned mainly with naturally-occurring behavior, and lies at the interface of psychology and Behavioristic psychology- more process-oriented and aimed at such processes as learning and memory; skeptical of inferences about mind and other internal constructs Physiological psychology- concerned with the physiological correlates of behavior Developmental psychology- focused on changes that occur over the lifetimes of individual animals and the interaction of nature and nurture Cognitive psychology- often broadly defined to include the mind’s functions such as perception, attention, memory, imagery, and decision-making but here focused on phenomena that appear to require the postula- tion of “higher processes” than basic learning and memory Mentalistic psychology- aimed at understanding mental life and conscious experience.

At least some of these six approaches have been with us through all or most of our history. I suggest that much of the history of CP can be understood as the dynamic ebb and flow of influence of these approaches. Here I explore just a few of these applications.

The British predecessors of comparative psychology provide examples. To over-simplify, Charles Darwin was eclectic but might be most associated with zoological psychology; George John Romanes also had broad interests but is often stereotyped for a mentalistic approach; Douglas A. Spalding did remarkable developmental research; and C. Lloyd Morgan influenced the field especially in the direction of .

Physiological studies have been present through most of this history. For example, John B. Watson attempted to correlate the development of learning ability to myelinization of the nervous system and conducted many studies of the neural correlates of both learning and naturally occurring behavior. Physiological studies were some- what muted under behavioristic domination around mid-20th century, but flourished dramatically after WWII.

Mentalistic approaches have been frowned upon during much of our history. ’s classic The Animal Mind (1908) and ethologist Donald Griffin’s much later writings were high points of this tradition.

The developmental approach has also been present somewhat continuously. Highlights include the early studies of W. S. Small and Watson with rats, the 1920s nature-nurture debates of Zing-yang Kuo, , and others, the -CP controversy around the 1950s, the explosion of early-experience research during the 1960s, ’s research on development in rhesus monkeys, and the founding of Developmental Psychobiology in 1968.

Several other approaches showed more dynamic shifts. Zoological psychology, a term applied to the whole field by some early comparative psychologists, was prominent in the early work of Linus Kline and Small at Clark Universi- ty, in various programs, C. R. Carpenter, who led the cadre of primate field researchers, T. C. Schneirla’s field studies of ants, and others. John F. Shepard, of the , was an early student of ants, led laboratory classes into the field, and was a teacher of both Schneirla and Norman Maier. Many students of CP in the 1960s were strongly influenced in the direction of the zoological approach by the accomplishments of the European ethologists (Dewsbury, 1995). The gist of the CP-ethology debates of the 1950s may have lain in a conflict between emphases on the zoological versus developmental approaches. I believe that zoological approaches have been present, though sometimes unrecognized, through most of the history of CP (Dewsbury, 1984). However, It seems as though they are fading with the ascension of other approaches, such as cognitive psychology, in recent years.

(cont’d next page) Page 9 The Behavioral Neuroscientist and Comparative Psychologist

Behavioristic approaches are based on the proposition that all things animals do, including thinking, acting, and feel- ing, can be regarded as behaviors. They can be understood without reference to internal events or hypothetical constructs such as the mind. Building on the work of C. L. Morgan, Jacques Loeb, E. L. Thorndike, and others, this approach was developed and publicized by John B. Watson and became especially prominent during the 1920s and subsequent decades. It achieved special notoriety with the work of B. F. Skinner, leading to the field of behavior analysis. Prediction and control were taken as the goals of behavioral study, internal events, except in the dressing of “private events,” were to be minimized, and psychology should be theory-free. Although the prevailing view is that this approach is dead, one need only attend a meeting of the Association for Behavioral Analysis International to see that rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated, to borrow loosely from Mark Twain.

Cognitive approaches, as defined above and in various forms, have been present for many years. They swept through psychology as a whole primarily during the 1960s and have been a dominant approach ever since. In CP, this approach has been apparent in the work of Wolfgang Köhler, Norman Maier, Edward C, Tolman, and others (e.g., Dewsbury, 2000). It must be noted that some of what is labeled “cognitive” today bears a striking resem- blance to what was regarded as “animal learning” in the past. I believe that a pivotal event in this history was the appointment in 1989 of Gordon Gallup as editor of the JCP over other nominees who favored other of the ap- proaches mentioned here. This was both a reflection of, and an influence on, the development of CP. Today, there are too many comparative cognitive scientists to name.

The material in this second part of my paper is just a brief sketch and should be familiar to most readers. I hope that viewing it in relation to these contrasting approaches is helpful in understanding this history.

Today, comparative psychology is, as it always has been, but a small part of psychology as a whole. It is highly inter-disciplinary and reflects all six of the approaches considered here. The cognitive approach appears to be dominant at this point in time. It will be interesting to see if this remains a fixture or the pattern of shifting influ- ence of these six, and perhaps other, influences continues to vary.

Report from the APA Council of Representatives

by Michael Domjan, Division 6 Representative

I recently returned from my first meeting as Division 6 representative to the APA Council of Representatives. What an experience! I thought everything was big in Texas. I found out that everything is also big at APA. The Council of Representatives (COR) has 175 members, representing APA divisions and psychological associations in various states, US territories, and Canadian provinces. Fortunately, very few of these representatives speak up on any given issue. Therefore, any member can be heard if s/he has a good point to make, even though some of the time is invariably taken by people who reiterate what others have already said. About 50 members of the Council were new this year. Some of the other representatives have managed to stay on the Council for many years by moving around from one organization to another as their terms of office expired. Having sat through one meeting of the Council, I am pretty sure I won’t be doing that.

I learned a number of rather remarkable things about APA during this Council meeting. Talking about big, the 2012 budget of APA is $105 million. Of this total, only $11.7 million comes from member dues. Thus, unlike many other scholarly/professional organizations, APA does not rely primarily on member dues for its budget. The extra $93.3 million enables the association to do a great many things in support of the science and practice of psychology far beyond what members pay for. I knew that APA members get a lot more than what they pay for, but I did not know the magnitude of the additional benefits.

Where does the extra $93.3 million come from? Journal subscriptions provide $12.2 million. Other familiar sources of income are the sale of books ($16 million), advertising ($2.6 million), and the annual convention ($2.9 million). One very unusual source of income ($3.5 million) is real estate holdings. APA owns two office buildings in Washing- ton, D.C. One of them is purely an investment property and is fully leased. The other is the APA headquarters building, 50% of which APA occupies, with the rest leased to other entities.

The greatest surprise for me in the budget was that $54.6 million of anticipated income in 2012 will come from licensing fees. APA charges a licensing fee for the use of various electronic products such as PsycInfo, PsycArticles, PsycBooks, PsycCritiques, PsycTests, PsycExtra, and PsycTherapy. I was amazed that these products generate such a large proportion of the APA budget. Because of the importance of this income for the operation of the associa- tion, APA is investing heavily in developing additional products in this category and in marketing these products to potential buyers. I found this to be a remarkably clever strategy. Income from journal subscriptions has been steadi- ly declining for the past 20 years. Added to that decline is the challenge posed by people who advocate open source publication of scientific findings. Given these trends, there seems little hope of reversing the long-term decline in publication income. By shifting to electronic products and licensing fees, APA has found a way to remain a major player in the dissemination of science that is responsive to the massive technological changes that are challenging conventional science publications.

What is the $105 million spent on? As in most organizations, salaries eat up a big chunk of the budget. For 2012, APA plans to employ about 590 people. The largest group of employees (180) works on Publications & Databases. As scientists, we obviously benefit from that. Our journals cannot survive on subscription income. Behavioral Neuro- science has 140 member subscribers, as does the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes. The Journal of Comparative Psychology has 180 member subscribers. One might think that library subscriptions would pick up the slack. But, that is not true. The total number of subscriptions (individuals plus institutions) to each of our journals is under 400. That is clearly not enough to pay for those journals. Thus, APA is substantially subsidizing our publications.

(cont’d next page) Volume 27, Issue 1 Page 16

Another way to measure what APA is doing for science is to look at how many staff members are employed in the Science Directorate. There are 25.3 staff members scheduled for the Science Directorate for 2012. I know of no oth- er organization that employs so many people to deal with the science of psychology. By way of comparison, the APA Practice Directorate has 30.5 staff members and the Public Interest Directorate, which also advocates for science, has 37.3. So, we are not doing badly. This is another area in which we get a lot of bang for the buck.

The primary science-related item on the Council agenda was approval of the revised APA guidelines for Ethical Con- duct in the Care and Use of Nonhuman Animals in Research. That motion was passed without a dissenting vote. No- tice Nancy Dess’s influence in the use of the expression “nonhuman animals” in the title of these guidelines. Nice go- ing, Nancy.

Nancy Dess’s influence was also evident in the Presidential initiatives for 2012. took over as President of APA in January, 2012, and presided at the Council meeting. She announced three Presidential Initiatives for her term in office: 1) Engaging the next generation of psychologists, 2) Interdisciplinary Science and Practice, and 3) Tackling the Problem of Obesity. In describing her second initiative, Dr. Johnson discussed the cross-cutting interdisci- plinary convention programming that Nancy Dess and Lynn Cooper organized for next summer’s APA convention in Orlando.

Among other actions, the Council approved a bi-laws amendment barring individuals from running for President of APA if they served in the post during the previous 10 years. The Council also approved waiver of back dues for indi- viduals returning to APA membership. Another item that is relevant to Division 6 is the approval of a plan to establish a new journal called Translational Issues in Psychological Science. This journal will be published in coordination with APAGS, the graduate student members of APA. The plan is to have a Ph.D. level scientist as the Editor of the journal, but involve graduate students in the development of themes for special issues and use the journal to train graduate students to review and edit manuscripts.

The Council Agenda book was 729 pages long, and we received about another 1,500 pages (who is counting?) of relat- ed material. Obviously, I cannot summarize all of that material (nor would you be interested in reading my summary). However, one item that caught my eye was a statement of the goals and objectives of APA. These were adopted by the Council in 2009 and serve as the primary guideposts for future APA activities. There are three stated goals: 1) Maximize organizational effectiveness, 2) Expand psychology’s role in advancing health, and 3) Increase recognition of psychology as a science. Clearly the third item is of greatest interest to members of Division 6. The objectives related to the third goal are to a) enhance psychology’s prominence as a core STEM discipline, b) Improve public understand- ing of the scientific basis for psychology, c) Expand the translation of psychological science to evidence-based practice, d) Promote the applications of psychological science to daily living, and e) Expand educational resources and opportu- nities in psychological science. The Science Directorate is just getting started in working on these objectives. As you can imagine, I will be keenly interested in progress in this area.

Early Career Psychologist’s Corner Advice and stories for and from APA, ECPs, and other inscrutable acronyms compiled by your Division 6 Early Career Psychologist representative, Meredith J. Bashaw, PhD

In this issue, job search advice gleaned from the “If I knew then what I know now! Lessons for early career psy- chologists” symposium at the 2011 APA Convention, with panelists Kathryn Wentzel, Anastasia Kitsantis, Steve Ferrara, Jessica DeCuir-Gunby, & Ken Barron. Similar sessions are held each convention and provide a chance to ask questions you have always wanted answered to a panel of mid- and established-career psychology PhDs from employers in both academic and applied settings.

Before you apply: Do good work. Publish in good journals, teach at respected institutions, intern or do rotations at the best facilities that you can. Building your CV is the most important part of landing a job. Applied or academic? Applied jobs often begin with completing assigned tasks and have less initial autonomy than academic jobs (though at the applied job autonomy is likely to develop over time). Typically it is easi- er to obtain data in applied jobs, but you may need to involve clients or customers in what you want to publish. In applied positions interactions with other scientists provide the opportunity for development of new ideas, and most projects are done as part of a team. In academia, you typically have more interactions with students than other scientists and this can bring new ways of looking at your research questions. In applied positions the pace of work is often determined by the caseload or clients, while in academia it is largely self-determined. In both types of jobs it may be difficult to find time to write up data, so you should expect to work evenings and weekends if you want to publish. Network, network, network! In the last APA survey, 35% of ECPs reported getting their first job through informal channels. Try to get to know the people who you want to hire you five years before they are looking for someone. Seek out people in your field who do what you want to do, as they may know where jobs will be coming available. Meet with people at institutions that may be a good fit for you even if they are not currently hiring. APA provides speed mentoring sessions and social hours at the con- vention that allow you to meet one-on-one and get career advice from some of the most well-respected APA members in a variety of areas without cold-calling! Networking is especially important if you are not able to relocate.

In the application stage: Tailor your application, especially your cover letter and statements, to the advertisement and institution. Study the website and any other information you can get on the institution and department. Identify the mix of applied work, research, and teaching at that institution and use this information to decide how much time to spend on each component in your materials. Think about how your work will fit into their teaching and research programs and address this specifically. Selection for an interview is about the match between you and the available position.

How does your experience allow you to perform the tasks specifically listed as part of the advertise- ment? How will you do your research with the facilities, funding, and support they offer? What courses that they already have could you teach? What new courses could you offer to broaden their curriculum? How do your skills dovetail with the position they have advertised?

(cont’d next page) Volume 27, Issue 1 Page 18

Be up front about who you are and what you want to do. You do not want to wind up at an institution where you have to pretend to be someone you are not, or where your focus is expected to be much broader or narrower than you would prefer. Develop a thick skin. You will be rejected. This does not reflect negatively on the quality of your CV, your work ethic, or anything else about you. It just means your application did not appear to be the best fit for that institution and position.

When you have an interview: Do your homework. Reread your initial information about the institution and add information about the work of specific relevant department members. Reread your application materials. Depending on the balance of applied work, research, and teaching at the institution, consider doing one or more of the following. Review case reports, treatment plans, or other work that you might be called upon to discuss, particular- ly for individuals whose stories are consistent with your materials and illustrate your skills. Read at least one recent journal article from faculty members in your field and think about how their research might overlap with yours. Develop a research plan for that institution and be prepared to artic- ulate your unique research trajectory, including publication and funding opportunities. Even if you have never taught it before, develop a thoughtful plan for at least one course that was re- quested in the job advertisement. Stay on message and be professional at all times. You are interviewing from the minute you get off the plane to the minute you get back on the plane and in any contacts with the institution before and after your visit. Tell your story. Don’t be afraid to repeat things from your application or cover letter. It is likely that faculty read them so long ago they will not notice or will appreciate your consistency. Remember, your application got you the interview! Pay attention to your instincts. Ask faculty about each other. Ask students about faculty. Look for clues as to the relationships among both student and faculty members of the department and think about whether those are the kinds of relationships you are looking for. Say thank-you. After you get home, let the department know you appreciated their time by sending your thanks. This can range from a single note to the department coordinator to be shared at a department meet- ing to sending individual cards to each person you met. Emails are perfectly acceptable.

After you get the job: Negotiate what you need to do your work well. In US jobs, there is typically a lot of room for negotiation, even if the institution initially says offers are firm. Other countries may have different negotiation expectations. Members of the department may be willing to provide you with a ballpark figure of what others have received in the past. You can negotiate some or all of the following: student support, salary, start-up, travel, equip- ment, job requirements, and benefits. Many salaries are public information or can be found in the APA salary survey; use these sources to understand the market rate in your field. Be prepared to justify your request. Find a mentor who does work like yours or who works in a place like yours. Believe opportunities are out there and reach out to other scientists. Talk to them about themselves, their career path, and what they wished they knew when they were starting out. Don’t become a workaholic! Find time for yourself and your family, even when things are at their most hectic. I hope this increases your chances (or at least your morale!) as we approach job search season again. If you have any stories or advice you’d like to share, please write me at [email protected] and they may appear in an upcoming issue. Have a great summer!

Obituary: César Ades

Professor César Ades passed away on 14th December 2012, after being hit by a car near his home in São Paulo, Brazil. He leaves an immense void in his family, friends, colleagues and students. We will always remember him, not only for his remarkable achievements as ethologist, researcher and professor, but also – and maybe mainly - for his enthusiasm for all types of manifestations of life. His warm personality, along with his accurate view of the processes and motivations of be- haviour, has left an indelible mark on all persons around him. In his memory, a brief overview of his life and achievements follows. César Ades was born in 1943 as an Egyptian, but moved to Brazil and natural- ized as a Brazilian when he was 15. He early expressed a strong interest in behaviour: at the age of 13, he devel- oped his first “experiment”, in a garden in Alexandria, by introducing insects and leaves in the web of a spider and observing the animal’s reaction. This interest would lead him, later on, to study further the processes involved in memory, web building, foraging, instinct and learning in spiders. It was this exploratory nature which, along with his knowledge, led him to his current list of achievements: a parade of animals and problems, each one receiving the same endeavour put in his first spider-experiment. Since graduation, he started writing papers and, as early as 1965, he published his first experimental results. Having graduated in this very year, César right away started teaching at the University of São Paulo, where he had been working until his departure. He developed relevant research on several areas of ethology: his research projects were really varied, covering areas as diverse as conditioning, memory, learning, exploration and foraging behaviour, responses to social isolation, vocal behaviour, social organi- zation, mother-infant recognition, courtship behaviour, domestication, welfare, human-animal relationship and ani- mal communication. His studies covered the impressive amount of 60 species! He was the author of over 100 publi- cations and was actively sought out to present his research results and recommendations at national and interna- tional venues. His most recent production was an anthological paper on dog comprehension of verbal requests, published one month before his departure. Besides his contributions as a researcher, César was also influential in the establishment and progress of the conceptual basis of ethology and psychology. In the sixties, he introduced the discussion about the study of motiva- tion in Brazil, having influenced significantly the following generations of theorists and researchers. In 1978, he pro- posed a discussion about the epistemological crisis in psychology; later on, he advocated the need for theoretical and cognitive concepts and pioneered, proposing the adoption of a psycho-ethological perspective in psychology. César Ades contributed significantly to the recognition and consolidation of ethology in Brazil and was one of the founders of the Brazilian Ethological Society. César served in a variety of professional capacities, among them the president of the Brazilian Ethological Socie- ty from 1994 to 1998, the vice-director of the Institute of Psychology (University of São Paulo) from 1998 to 2000 and director of this Institute from 2000 to 2004, period in which he dedicated to create the Committees for Ethics in Human and Animal Research. From 2008 to 2012, he was the director of the Institute of Advanced Studies, from the University of São Paulo. Since 1999, he had been the editor of the Brazilian Journal of Ethology (Revista de Eto- logia). César occupied one position in the Academia Paulista de Psicologia, a prestigious academy that brings togeth- er, forever, forty Brazilian professionals of great significance in teaching, research or professional practice of psy- chology, residing in the State of São Paulo. His distinguished profile as a professor usually raised the interest of students. As he was always interested in and attentive to new aspects of behaviour, he encouraged his students to carefully record and study several different types of behaviour. César believed undergraduates were able to contribute new ideas in the research, since they had “originality of a free thought, not tied to the knowledge of the manuals”. As an outcome of this view, César Ades was the fruitful builder of active and curious researchers, today turned into admirers and working as profes- sors and researchers in several different universities throughout the country. He is survived by his daughters Lia Ades Gabbay and Tatiana Ades. Page 20 The Behavioral Neuroscientist and Comparative Psychologist

Encourage Your Colleagues and Students to Join Division 6!

Division 6 members are devoted to studying the biology of behavior. Their focus is on behavior and its re- lation to perception, learning, memory, cognition, motivation, and emotion. Behavioral neuroscientists study the brain in relation to behavior, its , functions, abnormalities, and repair, as well as its interac- tions with the immune system, cardiovascular system, and energy regulation systems. Comparative psycholo- gists study the psychology and behavior of humans and other animals, with special interest in similarities and differences that may shed light on evolutionary, ecological, and developmental processes.

Established in 1944, when APA initiated its divisional structure, Division 6, using the name “Physiological Psychology and Comparative Psychology,” was among the original divisions included in APA’s reorganiza- tion. The first three Division presidents were Donald G. Marquis, Donald B. Lindsley, and Clifford T. Mor- gan. Among the many distinguished earlier psychologists elected president of Division 6 are Frank Beach, Brenda Milner, Harry Harlow, James Olds, and Frances Graham. The Division’s participation in the annual meetings and contributions to journals has been consistently high. Current members remain dedicated to enhancing knowledge of the nervous system and its mediation of behavior across species. The forums for achieving this commitment include meetings, publications, and involvement with APA’s Science Directorate and Governing Board.

A comprehensive history of Division 6 has been written by Don Dewsbury: Dewsbury, D.A. (1996).
