Behavioral & Cognitive Psychology
-
Applicants must show formal training (coursework) in behavioral and cognitive psychology, completed during graduate or postdoctoral education.
- Applicants must complete:
- An approved internship (e.g., APA or CPA-accredited), and
- Either:
- One year of postdoctoral training in the specialty, or
- Two years of relevant professional experience
- Applicants must document supervised experience in behavioral and cognitive psychology. In some cases, supervision outside a formal doctoral program may be accepted.
- Applicants can specialize in one or more of the four emphasis areas, but they are expected to demonstrate broad competence across behavioral and cognitive psychology.
- The board recognizes that not all of your experience is exclusively in behavioral and cognitive psychology. Applicants are expected to identify with the field and typically maintain membership in relevant professional organizations.
