The Hebb award is presented to an individual who has made a significant contribution to Canadian psychology as a scientific discipline (as a researcher, teacher, theorist, spokesperson, or public policy developer). [1] Recipients are nominated by their peers and selected by a committee of CPA Fellows. [2] The prize was originally named the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Canadian Psychology as a Science when it was presented to its first recipient, Donald O. Hebb, in 1980. [3] The 1986 award was the first to carry Hebb's name in its title. [4] [5]

This award is not to be confused with other awards also named after Hebb. The American Psychological Association's Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology (SBNCP) presents the D.O. Hebb Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award for research in behavioral neuroscience and/or comparative psychology.

Donald Olding Hebb was a Canadian psychologist who was influential in the area of neuropsychology, where he sought to understand how the function of neurons contributed to psychological processes such as learning. He is best known for his theory of Hebbian learning, which he introduced in his classic 1949 work The Organization of Behavior. He has been described as the father of neuropsychology and neural networks. A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Hebb as the 19th most cited psychologist of the 20th century. His views on learning described behavior and thought in terms of brain function, explaining cognitive processes in terms of connections between neuron assemblies.
