MUSIC, MEMORY, and LEARNING
Memory is the process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved, Encoding is complicated and we don’t always know exactly what chemical and physical stimuli will help us remember the most. Retrieving the information that is stored means we bring it back into consciousness and this can be very demanding. Sensory memory holds sensory information less than one second after and item is perceived so the ability to look at an item and remember what it looked like with just a split second of memorization is a type of sensory memory and it’s an automatic response. The phonological loop stores auditory information by silently rehearsing sounds or words in a continuous loop called the articulatory process. Echoic memory is a fast decaying store of auditory information that briefly stores sounds that have been experienced for a short time. The storage in sensory memory has a limit of storage and that information is not stored forever. Long term memory can store unlimited amount of information and it’s really hard to measure how much a person can actually store. The key is for us to have a semantic meaning to the sensory input that we …show more content…
These participants were separated into two groups being which musical background they came from. “The continued training group (n = 24) were those who undertook music training (M = 2.46 years, SD = 1.59 years) at baseline (i.e., at Experiment 1) and who continued their training for an additional year until the second experiment. The discontinued training group (n = 9) were those who received music training at baseline (M = 2.83 years, SD = 1.62 years) but who had not attended lessons for at least 9 months before the second experiment.” (Ho, Cheung, & Chan,
