      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.
      Lederman's research has examined, among other topics, the tactile psychophysics of texture perception, and the haptic processing of objects and faces.
