How music takes us back to our past
It’s happened to all of us: a ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ , and we are immediately transported to a time in our past. But what is it that makes music so effective at doing this?
There are a few things that link ____ with our memories. Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. And Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor in ____ ____ , adds that music and ____ are often part of many important life events and rituals, and that it is also very effective in grabbing our attention. These things combined mean that music and these life events are likely to be encoded together in our memories.
Music itself is easy to remember. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for BBC Culture, tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation ____ ____ . The ____ , ____ , ____ and ____ in ____ all serve as memory aids.
She goes on to say that ____ ____ especially can be associated with a particular moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a ____ ____ ____ because we hear it as ____ ____ . Familiarity is important. Jakubowski, tells us that the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories. This applies to music more than other ____ ____ because we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Heshmat points out that our ____ ____ usually form during our teens, and this corresponds with what many experts call the ‘reminiscence bump’, where we make our strongest memories between the ages of 10 and 30.
It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked – to the point that music is being used to help dementia sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost.
