The Academy’s Wiley Prize in Psychology, worth £5,000, was created in 2009 as an annual award to recognize outstanding contributions in a field of psychology.
The 2011 award went to Professor Dr Michael Tomasello in recognition of Tomasello’s work identifying the unique cognitive and cultural processes that distinguish humans from their nearest primate relatives, the great ape.
The 2010 award went to Dr Essi Viding- an outstanding young developmental psychologist from University College London specialising in the causes of violent antisocial behaviour in children and adolescents.
The 2009 award went to one of the world's leading pioneers of modern psychology- Professor Martin Seligman, currently Albert A Fox Leadership Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the University's Positive Psychology Center.
