Charles W. Eriksen (1923-2018), long-time editor of Perception & Psychophysics (1971-1993) - the precursor to the present journal - undoubtedly made a profound contribution to the study of selective attention in the visual modality. Working primarily with neurologically normal adults, his early research provided both theoretical accounts for behavioral phenomena as well as robust experimental tasks, including the well-known Eriksen flanker task. The latter paradigm has been used and adapted by many researchers over the subsequent decades. While Eriksen's research interests were primarily focused on situations of unimodal visual spatially selective attention, here I review evidence from those studies that have attempted to extend Eriksen's general approach to non-visual (i.e., auditory and tactile) selection and the more realistic situations of multisensory spatial attentional selection.
查尔斯·W·埃里克森（1923-2018 年），长期担任感知与心理物理学杂志（1971-1993 年）的编辑——该杂志是现在这本期刊的前身——无疑为视觉模式下的选择性注意研究做出了深远贡献。他主要与神经正常的成年人合作，其早期研究不仅为行为现象提供了理论解释，还提供了强大的实验任务，包括著名的埃里森侧翼任务。在随后的几十年里，许多研究人员都使用和改编了这个范式。虽然埃里克森的研究兴趣主要集中在单一模态的视觉空间选择性注意的情况下，但在这里，我回顾了那些试图将埃里克森的一般方法扩展到非视觉（即听觉和触觉）选择以及更现实的多感官空间注意力选择的研究的证据。
