Charles W. Eriksen
Charles W. Eriksen was the editor of Perception & Psychophysics from 1971 to 1993. Eriksen was a leading academic psychologist researching the field of visual perception. He developed the Eriksen flanker task.[1]
Early life
Erikson's early life was spent in Omaha, Nebraska. He was keen on fishing, and pranks.[1] He studied at the University of Nebraska, and did a PhD in clinical psychology at Stanford University because the queue for psychology was shorter than the one for physics.[1] His first job in 1950 was at Johns Hopkins University as a clinician and experimenter doing two part times jobs.[1]
Perception
Eriksen's publication of the flanker test has been heavily cited.[2]
