International APA Award 2007 to Ruben Ardila

For his distinguished and highly creative work from the most rigorous scientific perspective. As a laboratory researcher, an experimental scientist, and as a psychologist in the developing world who seeks to bridge cultural, historical, and linguistic borders, Rubén Ardila has contributed in a decisive way to the international advancement of psychology. His research with animal subjects and human participants has shed light on the fields of learning, early experiences, and the role of cultural processes in human behavior. He has succeeded in demonstrating that psychology can reach the delicate balance between being a science with universal principles and a field that is contextualized and specific in diverse cultures and historical frames of reference. As a pioneer of psychology in Latin America, Rubén Ardila has had a profound influence on professionalizing the discipline, on ethics, and on social justice.
