Classical Memory And Memory

Classical music as recall enhancer It is a stark reality that memory tends to fade with the passing of the years. “To do lists” usually become part of older people’s daily routines. Methods to decrease such negative effects are widely sought to counter this problem: self-help books, brain games, and supplements such as Ginkgo Biloba. Scientifically, there are a small number of studies indicating that music can help people’s mood and emotion, and thus improve positive effects on memory processes. Memory involves three processes encoding, storage, and retrieval, (Ford-Martin, 2001). In the search for natural methods to increase short-term memory I wonder: does listening to classical music help people recall information. To answer this question, this study aims to investigate how classical music could improve to free-recall. Free-recall is the presentation of material to a person with the consequent task of remembering as much as possible about the material without any cues. Free-recall is associated with memory: the ability to store and later, remember events and facts previously learned. The

For instance, studies suggest there might be a fundamental difference in patients with AD encoding mechanisms whose memory is affected versus healthy older adults, whose memory is not, (Deason et al., 2012). Additionally, some types of genres or musical pieces may be perceived as pleasant for some people while for others can be unpleasant. Consequently, it is plausible that the music preference of the listener can benefit or hinder study outcomes, (Riby, 2009). Regardless of the discrepant results, which are largely due to methodological differences between studies, interest remains in the clarification of the precise conditions that lead to improved brain function after or during exposure of
