Rumelhart Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The David E. Rumelhart Prize for Contributions to the Theoretical Foundations of Human Cognition is an award similar to the Turing Award, except that it is specific to Cognitive Science, and the award has only been running since 2001. The award is presented every year at the Cognitive Science Society meeting, where the recipient gives an hour-long speech and is given his check for $100,000, and then the next year's award winner is announced. The prize is named after the cognitive scientist David E. Rumelhart.

The Rumelhart Prize committee is actually totally independent of the Cognitive Science Society; it just takes advantage of the large interested audience for the awards. So far all the laureates have been male, but it is not a requirement of the prize.
