Posner, 44, becomes the seventh University scientist named to the academy. He is one of 60 new members chosen Tuesday during the business session of the annual academy meeting in Washington, D C. Election to membership in the academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded an American scientist or engineer. Those elected today bring the total member ship to 1,352. “All of us are enormously delighted and proud at the election of Michael Posner to the National Academy of Sciences,’’ University Pres. Paul Olum said. Olum noted that Posner, as well as his University colleagues in the academy, “are not only superb scientists but also, with out exception, people of deep commitment to their students." Psychology department head Robert Fagot reacted to Posner s election with obvious pleasure but little surprise. "Since I’ve followed Mike’s research for many years, his election to the academy has always been a question of when, not whether, to me," he said. “This honor recognizes him as a scientist of the first rank.” Posner, a member of the University faculty since 1965, specializes in the area of human cognition. His work, begun in 1960 while a graduate student at the University of Michigan, has led to the development of theories and tests that aid in diagnosing people with brain injuries and in understanding elements of the aging process. He is working on ways to test how people are able to maintain mental concentration while faced with competing stimuli, such as reading a book in a noisy room. briefs MEETINGS Bata Alpha Pal In conjunction with partnar-tn-raaldance John Gregor is spon soring a tour of Gregor, Mason and McCracken CPA firm today at 4 p m. at 975 Oak St A reception will be held at the Town Club afterward All accounting students are welcome and Beta Alpha Psi members are responsible tor mandatory attendance.
