John G. Neuhoff, Ph.D. , Associate Professor, The College of Wooster
A recipient of the Department of Psychology's prestigious William Prokasy Award (Awarded to a psychology major based upon academic achievement, contributions to the department, and potential in the field of psychology), Dr. Neuhoff graduated from B-W in 1991. He is currently an Associate Professor at the College of Wooster. Dr. Neuhoff’s work uses psychophysical methods to examine the neural and perceptual basis of auditory perception. He has found that there can be dramatic and sometimes paradoxical behavioral differences between experiments that employ traditional "static" stimuli and tasks, and those that are more likely to occur in a natural environment.
