I am no doubt behind the times, but I have discovered William S. Verplanck's "Glossary and Thesaurus of Behavioral Terms" on Roger D. Ray's (AI)2 website. According to Dr. Ray, "Besides a thorough investigation of all the nooks and cranies of his web site, there is little better way to come to know the real Bill Verplanck than through a careful study of his brilliant commentaries on the terms and definitions he offers within the Glossary."

The deadline for the Kantor fellowship is fast approaching. According to The Archives of the History of American Psychology:
"Kantor Fellowship Application:Download the J.R. Kantor Research Fellowship application. Deadline to apply is June 15, 2009. Call 330-972-7285 or email for further information.
This Fellowship honors the memory of Jacob Robert Kantor (1888-1984) and his interest in the history of psychology. Professor Kantor sought to organize scientific values into a coherent framework by replacing mentalistic concepts with those derived from naturalistic observations. These priorities suggest that proposals might deal with the history of various versions of behaviorism, as well as with subjects such as instinct, intelligence, language, or memory; but proposals are welcome on any topic relating to the evolution of scientific psychology."
