Biography[]

Trehub completed her PhD in psychology at McGill University, and subsequently joined the faculty at the University of Toronto.[2]

Trehub conducts research on the development of auditory perception among infants and young children. She also conducts research on the impacts of singing to infants in the course of caregiving.[1] In one study, Trehub and colleagues demonstrated that infants who were sung to stayed settled for twice as long compared to when those who were spoken to.[3][4][5]

Trehub was awarded the Society for Music Perception and Cognition Achievement Award in 2013.[6] The citation for the award stated that Trehub's "pioneering and seminal research in developmental music cognition has been a crucial contribution" to the field of music psychology.[6]
