Biography

Cuddy was born in 1939 and grew up in a musical family in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1] A trained pianist, she completed an undergraduate degree in psychology at United College (now the University of Winnipeg) in 1959, while also earning a diploma in music.[1][2] She earned a master's degree (1961) and a PhD (1965) in psychology from the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Endel Tulving.[1][2][3] In 1965, Cuddy and her husband, Mel Wiebe (a scholar of Victorian literature), left Toronto to accept positions at Queen's University.[1][4]

In 1969, Cuddy established the Music Cognition Lab at Queen's University, the first music psychology laboratory in Canada[5] and one of the first in the world.[6] Her research program has examined a wide range of topics within music psychology,[7] including melodic expectation,[8] absolute pitch,[9] and effects of musical training.[10] A recent line of research explored music processing among individuals with Alzheimer's disease.[7][11][12] This work garnered media attention for the finding that patients with memory loss associated with dementia may be able to maintain musical memories.[13][6][14][15]

Cuddy served as editor of the journal Music Perception from 2002 to 2017, and as a consulting editor to the journals Musicae Scientiae and Psychomusicology.[1][7][3] She was the president of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition from 2001 to 2002.[7]
