Stanley Smith Stevens was born. Widely considered one of the most eminent psychologists of the 20th century, S. S. Stevens is renowned for his profoundly influential work within the field of psychoacoustics; most notably his ‘power law’ experiments designed to measure the perceived intensity of a stimulus e.g. loudness of sound.
Stevens spent his entire career at Harvard University during which time he was director of the Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory, published his groundbreaking reference book, 'The Handbook of Experimental Psychology’ and became the world’s first Professor of Psychophysics.
Stanley Smith Stevens was awarded the Warren Medal of the Society of Experimental Psychologists in 1945, was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1946 and received the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association in 1960.
