[1][2] While earning her Ph.D. in philosophy, Baker worked under the supervision of August Kirschmann, a German-born psychologist who led the psychology laboratory at the University of Toronto.
She published two of her experiments in the laboratory's in-house publication called the University of Toronto Studies Psychological Series.

At the end of her career, Baker returned to Toronto where she eventually died on October 26, 1943, at age 87.
