	The David E. Rumelhart Prize: Roger Shepard
		Roger N. Shepard, Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, is a particularly appropriate recipient for a prize dedicated to the “Theoretical Foundations of Human Cognition”.
		Roger Shepard suggested that any organism that attempts to generalize according to optimal laws should be led by natural selection to adopt the exponentially decaying law with the stimulus-appropriate metric.
		Roger N. Shepard is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is the William James Fellow of the American Psychological Association.

	The Hitchcock Lectures: Roger N. Shepard
		Shepard has made influential contributions to our understanding of visual and auditory perception, learning, generalization, memory, mental imagery, and the relation between evolutionarily long-standing properties of the world and the ways in which mental representations have come to reflect them.
		Shepard is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the New York Academy of Sciences Award in Behavioral Sciences, and of our nation's highest scientific honor: the National Medal of Science.
		Currently Shepard is the Ray Lyman Wilbur Professor of Social Science, Emeritus, and Professor of Psychology, Emeritus at Stanford University.

	Shepard tone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Shepard tone is a sound consisting of a superposition of tones separated by octaves.
		The scale as described, with discrete steps between each tone, is known as the discrete Shepard scale, but, after Shepard, Jean-Claude Risset created a version of the scale where the steps between each tone are continuous, and it is appropriately called the continuous Risset scale or Shepard-Risset glissando.
		The effect of the electronic work consists both of the Shepard scale, seamless endlessly (rising) glissandos, and of a shimmering caused by the highest perceivable frequency and the inability to focus on the multitude of rising tones.

	Stanford scientist receives National Medal of Science (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Shepard is one of eight distinguished scientists who will receive the medal from President Clinton in a White House ceremony on Oct. 18.
		Shepard's basic research laid the theoretical groundwork for a number of significant applications developed by others, including enhancement of radiologists' ability to diagnose breast cancer and prediction of the performance of prospective airplane pilots.
		Shepard and his students -- initially Jacqueline Metzler and, most extensively, Lynn A. Cooper -- embarked on a series of experimental studies of "mental rotation." They showed pairs of differently oriented objects to people and asked them whether they were the same or different in shape.

	Tritone Paradox and Spectral-Motion AfterEffects
		The tones used are similar to those created by Roger Shepard in that they are specially designed complex tones that consist of ocatve related sinewave components.
		Shepard tones consist of 10 components (octaves) and are presented through a Gaussian-shaped spectral filter (see Figure to the right).
		Illusions arise from Deutsch and Shepard tones when the spectral envelopes are held constant and the frequencies components are raised or lowered in pitch.

	Online NewsHour: Remembering Alan Shepard -- July 22, 1998
		KWAME HOLMAN: In 1959, Alan Shepard and six other men were chosen from a pool of 110 pilots who volunteered to go into space.
		ALAN SHEPARD: I think all those who volunteered and certainly all of those who ended up the finals like I did really sort of looked at it as an extension of what they're doing.
		And then Alan Shepard got in his rocket ship and took Americans back where they were supposed to be, where we believed we are supposed to be through invention and technology at the top of the heap.

	Special: A sense of the future
		Cooper, who holds appointments as professor of psychology in both Arts and Sciences and the neurology department/Sergievsky Center at Physicians & Surgeons, is using neuroimaging techniques such as PET scans, along with more traditional behavioral techniques, to determine on a cognitive level how the mind represents objects and their relations in the external world.
		Roger Shepard demonstrated that people can carry out mental transformations analogous to physical processes.
		She and Shepard asked observers with different capacities for color vision to judge the similarity between pairs of color names.

		Roger N. Shepard of Bell Laboratories first demonstrated this phenomenon in the 1960s but it had been described ten years earlier by L.S. and Roger Penrose of the University of London.
		We decided to follow Shepard's example [5] of making each tone from a fundamental plus nine harmonics [6] though research shows that a much simpler combination will suffice.
		Shepard weighted each of his harmonics to resemble a Gaussian curve.

	Mental Rotation and Imagery
		Most well-known for this research is Roger Shepard and his colleagues (Shepard and Metzler, 1971; Cooper and Shepard, 1973.
		Furthermore, Cooper and Shepard (1973) found that when advance information about the orientation of the stimulus is given, people could begin mental rotation before the test stimulus appeared.
		The Shepard experiments illustrated the idea that images are internal representations that "stand in" for or "re-present" the corresponding objects.

	APF recognizes psychologists for life achievement
		His parents, Grace N. and O. Cutler Shepard, obtained their degrees from Stanford University and lived into their 90s on the Stanford campus, where Cutler was the founding head of Stanford's Department of Materials Science.
		During his undergraduate studies, Shepard was captivated by the idea that a study of the mind might reveal mathematical regularities--a way of operating that has the simplicity and invariability of mathematical law or mathematical formulas not unlike those he admired in physics.
		In 1966, Shepard was appointed professor of psychology at Harvard and, in 1967, director of its Psychological Laboratories.

		Hovland's dissertation provided the first evidence for a law of generalization, in which the tendency to make a response learned to one stimulus falls off exponentially with the distance separating a test stimulus from the original training stimulus along a sensory continuum, such as the continuum of auditory pitch (Hovland, 1937).

	Penrose stairway
		It served as an inspiration for the staircase in M. Escher's famous print "Ascending and Descending." Although the Penrose stairway cannot be realized in three dimensions, this impossibility is not immediately perceived and, in fact, the paradox is not even apparent to many people at a quick glance.
		Although Escher and the Penroses made the Stairway famous, it was, unbeknownst to them, independently discovered and refined years before by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvard.
		In the 1960s the Stanford psychologist Roger Shepard created an auditory analogue of the Stairway.
