W8: Earworms

W8: Earworms

1. involuntary musical memories

   • information from long-term memory comes into working memory and stays
   • 60% population experience INMI daily
     • Liikkanen (2012)
   • more likely to get earworms when doing hard tasks
   • stop earworms? occupy short term memory

2. declarative memory: remembering...

   • name of artist
   • when you first heard it
   • when it was produced

3. procedural memory

   • skills
   • Clive Wearing case: illness destroyed areas of hippocampus
     • destroyed declarative memory, but procedural memory is fine
       • dissociated skills (use different brain parts)

4. Short-term Memory (aka working memory)

   • Cowan: short term memory = long term memory that is being paid attention to
   • Baddaley: they're totally separate
   • capacity: 7 numbers in order
     • without manipulation: 4 numbers
       • manipulation = chunking

5. music & long-term memory

   • declarative memory
   • schematic expectations
   • veridical expectations
