Psychology Prof. Michael
Posner was elected to the Na
tional Academy of Sciences
Tuesday in recognition of his
distinguished and continuing
achievements in original re
search.
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.
