Q

Irish et al. studied Alzheimer patients and healthy patients in the ability to recall autobiographical memories while listening to music or in silence -> what were the results?

A
  • recall better for AD patients in music condition
  • no difference in overall arousal (measured using GSR)
  • no difference in errors in SART paradigm (sustained attention to response task: no-go/go task)
  • patient population showed clear effects while control didnt

A

  • musical memory

Q

what is the purpose of autobiographical memories?

A
  • contributes to the sense of purpose in life
  • clear link to sense of well-being
    -> music is back door into the memory system and how we encode/retrieve memories
17
Q

why are there discrepancies between whether singing improves or does not improve memory recall?

A
  • methodological differences
  • some use one single session while others use many points over time which can have effects within gen population
18
Q

what has music show to benefit in term of kind of memory?

A

non-verbal forms of memory

19
Q

Moussard et al. tested whether AD patients could learn sequence of gestures when performed in tie to music or metronome ->results?

A
  • patients performed better in music condition only if tested immediately after learning phase and not after 10 min delay
    -> could be bc parts of the brain dealing with musical representations are less broken down by AD
    -> methodology plays a role in this too
20
Q

what could play a role in recall immediately or after some period of time in AD patients?

A
  • some representations and thought could be still in the WM/STM and havent been consolidated in LTM yet so that can play a role in whether they recall or not`
21
Q

which condition in AD patients had better quality autobiographical memories?

A

condition in which music was listened to prior to recall

22
Q

how can autobiographical memory retrieval be operationalized?

A
  • complexity of grammatical structure
  • speed of recall
  • content specificity
23
Q

what was Foster able to conclude about cafeteria noise?

A

more general effect of auditory stimulation
- arousal as a mediating variable

24
Q

when did El Haj et al. find better performance for retrieving memories?

A

when able to select their own music

25
Q

what is associated with autobiographical memories?

A

higher emotional content when accompanying music chosen by individuals
-> shows importance of individual differences in tailoring treatment approach for patient populations

26
Q

what is music able to modulate?

A

emotion

27
Q

Baird and Samson tested efficacy of music evoked autobiographical memories (MEAMs) in patients with brain injuries -> what were the results?

A
  • 1 person reported no music evoked autobiographical memories and no autobiographical details in AMI -> had impaired pitch perception which can limit ability to use music to evoke autobiographical memories
  • 4 patients had similar autobiographical details as matched controls -> 3 out of 4 documented deficits related to verbal and/or visual based memory showing an “alternate” route to which memories can be accessed
28
Q

what did the MEAMs show in the Baird and Samson study?

A

people focused on one period of time in their lives
-> 3 out of 5 MEAM were more effective at including memory recall than verbal prompts
