Sandra E. Trehub
Sandra Trehub studied economics and philosophy before obtaining her doctoral degree in psychology at McGill University in 1973. Since that time, she has been a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto where she is currently Professor Emeritus. Although most of her research is conducted in laboratory contexts, she has travelled extensively to observe cross-cultural differences in musical interactions with infants. Among her scholarly honours are a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (2013). Her research focuses on young children’s and adults’ perception of music and on maternal singing to infants.
