Description

The Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS), established in 1997, helps bring the latest research on how people think, learn, decide, and experience the world to bear on public policy and practice. Over the years, the Board and its study committees have explored a wide range of topics within psychological science — including learning, decision-making, mental health and well-being, sensory impairments, and cognitive changes related to aging. We also address issues central to the science of science, such as team science, replicability, and research integrity. Our reports inform applied contexts including the military, transportation safety, artificial intelligence, behavioral modeling, intelligence, and workforce development.
