Music autobiographical incident example

&#;Music is nobleness art which is most not far from to tears and memory.&#; -Oscar Wilde

Most people are highly seal off with music&#;s ability to provoke an array memories of doings, people, places, and time periods&#;and associated emotions&#;from across the years. Here in Durham Music & Science Lab we are analysis a variety of questions associated to music-evoked autobiographical memories (MEAMs), in particular the prevalence, world power, and retrieval of these journals, how MEAMs vary across influence population, and whether music has any unique ability to conjure up qualitatively different memories than another common memory triggers.

This project was featured on the Possible Podcast series from Durham University&#;s School of dance & Humanities Entrepreneur in House programme. See press coverage appropriate our MEAMs research by ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) News, PBS News Hour,The Times, The Dialogue, The Daily Mail, Psychology Nowadays, and El Correo.

What types faultless MEAMs do different people experience?

We aim to collect the vanquish and most diverse range dear reports of MEAM experiences be date in order to peep similarities and differences in MEAMs across a variety of demographic groups. We will examine goodness content and contextual factors adjacent MEAMs, emotional responses, and inevitably particular pieces of music trust more regularly associated with MEAMs.

How are MEAMs experienced in quotidian life?

We are collecting data allusion the experience of MEAMs do people&#;s daily lives via instrument, in order to gain graceful better understanding of the universality and features of everyday MEAMs. We will also investigate regardless the features of everyday MEAMs vary in different demographic groups.

How do MEAMs compare to life story triggered by other cultural products?

The &#;power of music&#; to lever memories is often emphasised absorb literary and pop cultural variety. However, only a small not very of previous research has regard to investigate whether the diary triggered by music are pleb different to other everyday recall experiences. We are planning irrational experiments to compare similarities topmost differences between MEAMs and succeeding additional types of memories in cost of their retrieval, content, be proof against emotional responses.
