Lola L. Cuddy (born 1939) is a Canadian psychologist recognized for her contributions to the field of music psychology. She is a professor emerita in the Department of Psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
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]
