Division 3: Society for Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science

APA Div. 3 (Society for Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science) represents the interests and concerns of psychologists whose principal area of study or research lies within the field of general experimental psychology. Several specific goals of the division have been established, including the promotion of basic experimental research, the transmission of this research and its theoretical bases to students, the facilitation of information exchange among the division members, the enhancement of interdisciplinary relationships and the support and development of the scientific core of psychology. MISSION The mission of Div. 3 is as follows: - Promote research and teaching in the general field of experimental psychology and its many subdisciplines. - Stimulate the exchange of information among its members and with other sciences. - Support experimental psychology — and the science of psychology more broadly — through research, advocacy, education and training, service, policy, leadership in APA governance and collaboration with APA's directorates. Our members do basic and applied research in varied settings on topics covered by the five flagship Journals of Experimental Psychology. We enthusiastically welcome members who do experimental work in any area of psychology.
