Description
Yakoub-Agha and seven co-authors test if five minutes of music lifts memory in college students in this twenty twenty-five study. Sixty-nine students took part and were split by lot into a music group and a plain group. The study ran two days, with the music played on the second day.
Inside, the team checked sight memory, word memory, working memory, and false memory with set tests. Music did not shift word recall, working memory, or false memory rates in the group. Sight memory did gain from the short burst of jazz-style music. The authors say music may help most when class work leans on sight and image.
