Researchers found that music's positive effects on memory are modulated by differences between patients relating to the use of music in their lives. 🎶🧠
Faced with a lack of effective treatments to prevent cognitive impairment, clinicians traditionally have proposed background music as a candidate alternative therapy for improving performance on memory tasks. The effect of music has long been debated, and evidence that it works is still controversial. A new study led by researchers from the Oberta University of Catalonia in Barcelona has found that music's beneficial effect on memory may be modulated by interindividual differences.
The scientists used classical music in both instances."It's a type of music that falls between relaxing and arousing and has proven to be the most effective for enhancing memory," explained Marco Calabria, PhD, in a press release. Calabria is a researcher at the UOC and the article's lead author. Previous studies have reported that"high-arousal" music may boost performance in memory tasks. Therefore, in experiment three, the authors tested two conditions: low-arousal and high-arousal. In the first case, the patients were exposed to Bach's. For the high-arousal scenario, the authors looked for music that was more arousing and less relaxing.
