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@ppk.elte.hu or reka.schvajda@ppk.elte.hu).
