Music and Memory

Summary/Abstract: In order to achieve development, an individual must possess the appropriate resources. A resource may be viewed as a raw material that can be utilized for specific forms of production. The resources accumulated throughout a person’s life are primarily stored in the form of memory. If we lose our recollections of ourselves, others, and the events in our lives, we ultimately lose our identity. A person is who they are precisely because of their memory. The present study aims to investigate the influence of music on human memory. Our objective was to support the hypothesis that music affects memory and stimulates neurological processes that enhance brain plasticity. To fulfill this aim, we employed the method of observation and conducted an analytical review of experimental models described in the scientific literature, particularly those developed in leading neurophysiological research centers worldwide. Our findings reveal that music has the capacity to modulate memory by influencing both the encoding and decoding processes. Our personal observations confirmed that, in the presence of music, the brain intensifies its associative activity, expands its semiotic capacity, and facilitates the transition between short-term and long-term memory systems. The conclusions of our study support the view that music enhances the speed of encoding, improves the retrieval efficiency of facts and events from long-term memory, and increases the productivity of associative cognitive processes. Note: This study does not address genetic memory. The focus is specifically on memory as a psychophysiological function
