We would like to encourage everyone to attend several special SIG events. The first is the 2008 Distinguished Career Award symposium Monday, May 26 at 11:30 am in Metra Room, Blackstone Hotel. The SIG is very excited to present its 2008 Distinguished Career award to Dr. Charles Catania. Dr. Catania will present a paper titled, ”The Origins and Consequences of Fictional Verbal Entities.” Second, the SIG is sponsoring a symposium titled, “The Experimental Analysis of Human Social Behavior: Symposium in Honor of David R. Schmitt.” The symposium, which is designed to honor the work of Dr. Schmitt, the 2007 recipient of the Distinguished Career Award who was unable to attend ABAI last year, includes four papers by researchers studying human social behavior. The symposium will be Monday May 26, 3:30 pm, EI Room, Blackstone Hotel.

The SIG will also be holding its annual meeting at ABAI Saturday, May 24, 7:30 PM - 8:20 PM, Joliet. At the meeting the SIG will present awards to our new student paper winners: Daniel Fienup (Illinois State University) and sponsor Thomas S. Critchfield (Illinois State University) for the paper, “Establishing Concepts of Inferential Statistics and Hypothesis Decision Making Through Contextually-Controlled Equivalence Classes.” (Poster # 97 in Session 210 on May 25, 2008) and Yusuke Hayashi (West Virginia University) and sponsor Manish Vaidya (University of North Texas) for the paper, “Effects of Stimulus Discriminability on the Acquisition of Conditional Discriminations in Adult Humans. “ (Poster # 99 in Session 297 on May 25, 2008). Please stop by the posters of these Student Award winners and congratulate them for their accomplishments. We thank all of the participants and reviewers who made the competition possible.
