| 9:15 -10:15 | Keynote speaker: Joseph C. Stevens S. S. Stevens (1906-1973): Life and Science |
| 10:15 - 10:30 | Refreshments |
| 10:30 - 12:30 | Roundtable: Celebrating S. S. Stevens. Organised by Bert Scharf Stevens: The man, the scientist.
A series of vignettes by some of his students and collaborators to be presented as part of an informal round table. Contributions will be short and will focus on personal relationships and exchanges, mostly about psychophysics. We hope thereby to gain insight into the way Stevens identified a problem, placed it in its appropriate context—relating it to what was already known, developed needed analytic and experimental procedures, provided the theoretical even philosophical underpinnings, and finally came up with clear and impelling presentations in word and figure. A primary goal of the round table is to provide inspiration and advice to our younger colleagues. |
