Abstract

Numerous studies have shown the tremendous effect of melodies on the remembrance of previous events, continuing the long-standing fascination of researchers with the link between music and memory. the complex relationship between musical composition and memory, with an emphasis on how songs' melodies could evoke strong feelings and memories. This research delves at the mechanisms that make music effective for memorization, drawing on insights from cognitive psychology, neurology, and musicology. Memories are encoded, stored, and retrieved via brain networks linked to rhythm, harmony, and timbre in melodies. Researchers have shed insight on the brain areas and cognitive processes involved in music-evoked memory through experimental investigations that utilised techniques including functional neuroimaging and behavioural evaluations.
