After a further investigation of memory and topics related to it, I discovered the connection of music to the memory. The persistence of music in our relatively well-known phenomenon. Most people have experienced having the latest pop song or some catchy jingle stuck in their head all day. I am particularly interested in this connection as it involves two of my greatest passions: psychology and music.
As I begin my research, I plan to examine how we remember music and why we remember music so well. One source that will assist me in my research is scholarly article, “Memory for melody and key in childhood.” This article discusses the length of retention people exhibit after exposure to previously unfamiliar memories. It reviews a study that changes variables like age and melody. This article will aid me in answering questions about how we remember melodies of different keys. New questions it has raised include the influence of age in remembering music. Furthermore, I have recently been discovered the psychological marvel of Clive Waring. Waring was once a gifted musician who was diagnosed with anterograde amnesia. Despite his remarkably short memory, he is still able to play the piano with accuracy and precision. Waring’s miraculous case may steer of my research in a more focused direction.
