Our wonderful Lab Director, Elke Weber, an expert on environmental decision-making, has received the 2025 Howard Crosby Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists. Weber was recognized by the society “for her careful and creative empirical research that has led to insightful and impactful theories of how people make decisions,” according to the citation.

The Howard Crosby Warren Medal, first established in 1936, is one of the most prestigious awards in North American psychology. The medal is named after Howard Crosby Warren, the first chair of Princeton University’s Department of Psychology. It is awarded annually to a researcher in the United States or Canada who has made outstanding achievements in experimental psychology over the past five years.

Weber will receive the medal in April at the 2025 meeting of the Society of Experimental Psychologists in St. Louis. The society was founded in 1904 with a mission to advance psychology by arranging informal conferences on experimental psychology. It has a current membership of 281 individuals, admitting at least six new members annually from among the leading experimental psychologists in North America.
