Pisoni, David B.
Oral history interview with David Pisoni, 2021 December 13.
In this interview organized through the Acoustical Society of America, the discussion begins with Pisonis experiences as a member of ASA and the influence of a presentation at a 1980 meeting by Brian Eukel as well as earlier work by the Harvard Psychoacoustics Lab. The interview continues with memories of Pisonis youth in New York City and undergraduate education in experimental psychology at Queens College of the City University of New York, including the influence of Lou Gerstman. Pisoni then recalls his doctoral work in psycholinguistics at the University of Michigan and research at Haskins Laboratories, as well as his move in 1970 to his only place of employment, Indiana University, and his sabbaticals at MIT. Other subjects Pisoni discusses include the creation and growth of the IU Training in Speech and Hearing Sensory Communication program funded by the National Institutes of Health, some of his most influential books and papers, his participation in the Institute for Defense Analyses Summer Camp in Applied Mathematical Problems, and his moves into clinical work and cognitive aging and speech perception.
