Erich Schröger (born November 11, 1958 in Munich ) is a German psychologist and neuroscientist .

Career

Erich Schröger studied philosophy and psychology at the University of Philosophy and at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . He obtained a bachelor's degree in philosophy in 1982 and a diploma in psychology in 1986 . With his work Konstanz und Lautheit. On the effect of distance and setting on volume assessment , he received his doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich in 1991. phil. PhD . After research stays at the Cognitive Brain Research Unit of the University of Helsinki (Finland) and teaching at the Catholic University of Eichstätt , Erich Schröger completed his habilitation in psychology at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich in 1996.

In 1997 Erich Schröger was appointed professor for the field of biological psychology at the University of Leipzig . Since 2001 he has held the professorship for cognitive including biological psychology and heads the BioCog working group. From 2014 to 2016 he was Dean of the Faculty of Biosciences, Pharmacy and Psychology at the University of Leipzig. In 2015 he was elected to the Academia Europaea . Since April 2017 the Vice Rector for Research and Young Scientists at the University of Leipzig.

According to a list from 2018, Erich Schröger is one of the 50 most influential living psychologists.

research

Erich Schröger's research focuses on the areas of perception , attention and memory . He mainly works in the auditory modality but also examines visual and multimodal mechanisms of human information processing. Among other things, he has developed an experimental paradigm with which the mechanisms of involuntary distraction (distraction) by changing irrelevant stimulus properties can be investigated. Following the school of the Finnish psychologist Risto Näätänen , Erich Schröger has also described important processes that underlie the discovery of changes in regular stimulus sequences. For example, he was able to show that both sensory adaptation processes and cognitive memory comparison processes are involved in the automatic discovery of such changes. Erich Schröger is also interested in the history and methods of psychology.

The German Research Foundation (DFG) approved a Reinhart Koselleck project for Erich Schröger in December 2008 . The topic of this project is the mechanisms of predictive modeling in hearing. Specifically, Erich Schröger investigates how automatic predictions about upcoming auditory events can be generated on the basis of regular environmental stimuli. This mechanism enables, for example, the enormous speed with which incoming acoustic stimuli, for example when understanding spoken language or locating moving noises, are processed. Likewise, the special processing of self-induced auditory stimulus signals, i.e. stimuli that an individual generates through his own actions, can be traced back to the principles of predictive modeling. To optimize a predictive model, the information processing system calculates prediction errors as the difference between the prediction and the actual stimulus signal.

In 1996 Erich Schröger received the Distinguished Scientific Award for An Early Career - Contribution to Psychophysiology , the research award of the Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR), for his scientific work . From 2004 to 2011 Erich Schröger was a member of the Psychology Review Board of the German Research Foundation (DFG). From 2013 to 2015 he was appointed to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's research award selection committee. To date, Erich Schröger has published more than 300 scientific papers and has worked as a voluntary reviewer for more than 100 scientific journals and organizations.
