J. C. R. Licklider, psychologist
George Armitage Miller · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1991
Personal recollections of working with Licklider at Harvard and MIT between 1943 and 1955, while he still considered himself to be a psychologist. At the Harvard Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory he conducted his definitive studies of the effects of amplitude modulation on the intelligibility of speech and proposed a theory of pitch perception. At MIT in the early 1950s, while continuing his interest in psychoacoustics, he also created a graduate program in experimental psychology and contributed to the creation of the Lincoln Laboratory.
