Haines Research Award. Dr. Haines was an IUSB faculty member for 22 years, achieving the rank of Associate Professor and serving for many years as department chairperson. He came to IUSB in 1971 after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas. His primary scholarly interests were in the psychology of music, perceptual learning, and cognitive psychology. Jim taught courses in experimental psychology and his course in learning was one of the most popular in the psychology curriculum. Jim had a passion for teaching research methods, encouraged student research, and loved to spread the gospel that "psychology is a science." In addition to his university contributions and efforts, Jim was a fine musician (he had played the bass in a jazz group). Dr. Haines died after an illness on January 20, 1994.
