JUSTEL, Nadia; ABRAHAN, Verónika; CASTRO, Candela y RUBINSTEIN, Wanda. Music effect on verbal emotional memory. Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.297-302. ISSN 1851-1686.
The emotional content of the events affects the posterior recall due that emotional events are remembered better and with more detail than the neutral ones. Music can affect memory consolidation of emotional events, either strengthening or deteriorating memories. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of music on verbal memory consolidation. The participants had to read and listen to neutral and emotional words and then evaluate the emotionality/arousal that these stimuli produced to them. Immediately one group was exposed to white noise; the other one, to an activating piece of music. Free recall and recognition tests were evaluated, immediately and deferred. The participants that were exposed to the musical piece had a better free. Besides, the emotional words were remembered better than the neutral ones. Our indings conclude that music modulates verbal memory consolidation.
