Susan Lederman

Susan J. Lederman FRSC is a Canadian experimental psychologist. She is a professor emerita in the Department of Psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.[1] She is recognized for her contributions to the field of haptics.[2][3]

Lederman earned a B.A. from the University of Toronto in 1968; an M.A. from the University of Wisconsin in 1970; and a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1973.[1]

Lederman's research has examined, among other topics, the tactile psychophysics of texture perception,[4][5] and the haptic processing of objects[6][7] and faces.[8][9] She led a research project to design and test the addition of a tactile feature to Canadian banknotes, in order to increase their accessibility to blind and visually impaired users.[10][3] She was formerly the Associate Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE journal Transactions on Haptics.[11]
