"Jack Adams"Bio:
Jack A. Adams, a noted engineering psychologist, was born in Davenport, Iowa, on August 3, 1922. He died from cancer in Falls Church, Virginia, on September 22, 2010, at age 88. Survivors include his two children, Samuel Adams of Indiana and Sara Cashell of Oregon, as well as three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
During World War II, from 1943 to 1945, he served with distinction in the U.S. Army Infantry and received the Bronze Star. After military service, Jack attended the University of Iowa and, in 1951, completed his doctorate in experimental psychology. His dissertation was titled “The Influence of the Time Interval After Interpolated Activity on Psychomotor Performance.” Jack acknowledged the “valuable advice and assistance” of Don Lewis throughout his investigation.
