Mission Statement

The mission of Division 3 is to promote scientific inquiry through teaching and research, and to support experimental psychology through the advocacy and educational programs. We work closely with the Science and Education Directorates. Our membership consists of people who do basic and applied research in cognitive psychology, animal behavior processes and neuroscience. In addition, we welcome members who do experimental work in developmental, social, and other areas. Many of our members are primarily teachers of psychology in these areas. Division 3 provides strong leadership in APA Council, representing members' views on training and federal funding, and on APA journal and publication policy.
