The Stanley Weiss Memorial Fund for
Experimental Psychology (the Fund) was established to recognize and honor
Stan’s lifelong passion, dedication and contributions to the field of
experimental psychology, focusing on animal conditioning and learning. Stan felt that in recent years the
development of this field has been inhibited by the lack of exposure of new
students and researchers to its elegance and promise, and by insufficient
personal interaction with its leaders. The goal of the Fund is to help advance the field of experimental
psychology and animal learning studies by addressing these gaps.
We believe that Stan would have been
gratified to know that support for this goal has been established in his
memory. The following allocation
categories are anticipated: conference support, stipends to graduate students
for costs of attending professional conferences, scholarships, or other means
of helping to meet the fund’s goal.
These categories will be refined, and selections will be made, with the
guidance of Stan’s colleagues and other
researchers in the field. The fund has
been established with sufficient funding to provide about $4,000/year in
perpetuity. We would appreciate any additional
donations to increase the funds available to support and advance study and
research in animal conditioning and learning.
