Erika A. Pratte experiments and data
The ESP-Nexus page for Erika A. Pratte is currently a placeholder — full content is pending a curator and generator pass. What the sources retrieved for this question do establish is summarized below.
Erika A. Pratte — what the sources show
Institutional affiliation and training
At the time of the 4th International Expert Meeting on Clinical Parapsychology (Heidelberg, 2017), Pratte was a doctoral candidate at the University of Northampton, UK [3]. The sources do not specify when that doctorate was completed or list subsequent affiliations.
Research and scholarly work
The clearest picture of Pratte’s research focus comes from three areas visible in the sources:
Historical and archival parapsychology. Pratte co-authored a peer-reviewed article in History of Psychology with Renaud Évrard and Etzel Cardeña examining Pierre Janet’s relationship to psychical research — tracing how Janet’s experimental work on hypnosis and suggestion intersected with the emerging methodologies of late-19th-century French psychical research, including probabilistic card-guessing protocols [1]. The same reference list notes an earlier co-authored paper with Évrard on “From catalepsy to psychical research: The itinerary of Timothée Puel (1812–1890),” also in History of Psychology (2017) [1].
Clinical and counseling parapsychology. At the 2017 Heidelberg expert meeting, Pratte presented on her experiences with online counseling for anomalous experiences — describing her professional background before discussing practice in that area [3]. This places her work within the applied, clinical strand of parapsychology concerned with supporting individuals who report unusual experiences.
Contemporary empirical parapsychology. An editorial in the Journal of Parapsychology (2022) names Pratte among a cohort of younger researchers contributing new energy to the field, specifically noting that work by her and Debra Katz was included alongside contributions by more established researchers [4].
Organizational roles
Pratte served as Program Chair for the 66th Annual Convention of the Parapsychological Association, held in Mérida, Mexico (2024) [2].
What the sources do not cover
The retrieved sources do not contain specific experimental datasets, effect sizes, or detailed methodological descriptions of any laboratory studies Pratte may have conducted. If you are looking for a particular study’s results or statistics, the retrieved excerpts do not show them — the primary sources to consult would be her peer-reviewed publications directly, beginning with [1].
The ESP-Nexus page for Erika A. Pratte will carry fuller coverage once the curator and generator pass is complete.
