MARCS welcomes visiting Professor Laurel Trainor
The MARCS Institute is pleased to welcome visiting Professor Laurel Trainor from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Dr Trainor is Director of the Auditory Development Lab at McMaster University and the Director of McMaster Institute for Music & the Mind (MIMM).
She studies the perception of sound in infants, children, and adults, as well as the acquisition of music and language.
Dr Trainor's research interests include the perception and cognition of music, human auditory perceptual and cognitive development, the perception of objects, speech and music in relation to communication, emotional development, and social interaction.
As Director of the Auditory Development Lab she studies the perception of sound in infants, children, and adults, as well as the acquisition of music and language.
She is particularly interested in what infants perceive when they listen to speech and music, how this changes as they grow, and what influences how sound perception develops.
Dr Trainor is visiting MARCS for a three week period through the Music Cognition and Action (MCA) research program, which is led by Professor Kate Stevens.
On behalf of all at MARCS, welcome Laurel!
