[Koglist] ELTE Cognitive Seminar - Andrea Halpern - May 23 Monday 14:00 - IZU 101

Dear all, We would like to invite you to the following talk by Andrea Halpern (Bucknell University), organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series. The talk will take place in-person at the Izabella Street building of ELTE. Please register by sending an email to nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu if you would like to attend. *Time and date:* 14:00 (CET), Monday, 23. 05. 2022 *Location: *Room 101, Izabella utca 46., 1064 Budapest *Speaker:* Andrea Halpern (Bucknell University) *Title:* Memory for Music: For Better or Worse *Abstract:* Memory for some aspects of music is surprisingly good...and in other ways it is surprisingly bad! In this talk  I will review a wide variety of older and newer research projects that contrast the difficulties with encoding new music into memory (even for musicians), contrasting with  situations in which some aspects of already-learned music are very well preserved, even over long time periods or neural challenges. I will offer some ideas about how these two situations might also have some elements in common but also reasons for why they differ, and how examining memory for music can illuminate general principles of memory. If you have questions about the event, please contact us via email (nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu or reka.schvajda(a)ppk.elte.hu). We look forward to seeing you there, Zsuzsanna Nemecz Réka Schvajda organizers ELTE Department of Cognitive Psychology
