Charles Walter Eriksen (February 4, 1923 – February 16, 2018)[1][2] was an American psychologist who 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.[3]
Early life
Eriksen's early life was spent in Omaha, Nebraska. He was keen on fishing, and pranks.[3] 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.[3] His first job in 1950 was at Johns Hopkins University as a clinician and experimenter doing two part times jobs.[3]
Perception
Eriksen's publication of the flanker test has been heavily cited.[4]
