There has been a long history of anecdotal evidence that music is strongly connected to emotional, vivid autobiographical memories. Despite the widespread popularity of this belief, there has been little experimental evidence to support this claim. Clinically, it has been shown that music benefits autobiographical memory retrieval in patients with memory disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. However, it is unknown whether music is a better memory-inducing stimulus than other stimuli. We use the Music, Emotion, and Autobiographical Memory task to compare autobiographical memory recall from music clips with memory recall from pictures and cue-words to isolate the effectiveness of music. We hypothesized that music-evoked autobiographical memories would be more emotional and vivid than picture-and word-evoked autobiographical memories. After testing a sample of normal, healthy adults, we found support for our hypothesis that music-evoked autobiographical memories are more detailed, vivid, and emotional.
