About Jonathan

Jonathan Prince, known professionally as Jon Prince, is an Associate Professor of Psychology in the School of Psychology at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. His academic career includes progression from lecturer to his current position, with prior postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto Scarborough, Department of Psychology. Prince earned his PhD and specializes in cognitive psychology, with a focus on music cognition and perception. His research examines how listeners integrate pitch and time structures in melodies, tonal-metric hierarchies, metrical grouping, and the perceptual salience of musical elements. More recently, he explores music-based interventions for healthy ageing and dementia, investigating cognitive and neuroscientific perspectives on music's therapeutic potential, including emotional responses to harmonic cadences and the benefits of singing or listening to music for behavioural improvements in dementia patients. He supervises doctoral students on topics such as domain-general syntax resources in music processing, the impacts of distraction versus acceptance on distress, and interactions between music, noise, and mental imagery vividness.
