Abstract In Study 1, undergraduate students rated popular music songs on several factors. A database of knowledge was created for popular music autobiographical memory (AM) cueing research. Study 2 examined the role of emotional experience and relevance associated with a popular music AM cue on recalled AMs. In Phase 1, undergraduate participants described AMs to short music clips or a blank computer screen (control). In Phase 2, participants answered questions about these AMs. In Phase 3, participants rated musical clips (including Phase 1 stimuli). Unexpectedly, music-cued memories were less salient and did not differ emotionally from control-cued, but contained more perceptual and leisure content. When examining only participants cued by music, the emotional experience associated with listening to the cue was congruent with that of the produced memory. In addition, memories evoked to highly relevant music were rated as more salient and emotional than those evoked to less personally relevant music. Keywords: Autobiographical Memory, Popular Music Cueing, Emotion, Stimuli Selection, Popular Music Cueing Database i Acknowledgments Western: I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Albert Katz, for his continued guidance, insight, and support over the past four years and particularly, his interesting stories and caring nature. I feel privileged to have worked with such a fascinating and compassionate mentor who possesses a blend of genuine care for his students, both personally and academically, and thoughtful research expertise. I will sincerely miss most, our meetings that turned into long chats about traveling and life. Academically, thank you for pushing me to go beyond what was expected of me and for helping me improve my writing skills. I will try to remember that “firstly” is not an appropriate word choice. I would also like to thank the other wonderful, unique people in the Katz lab who have also always provided both a comfortable, nurturing environment and just plain good company. Especially, I thank Nick Reid for his support both academically and personally. Most importantly, I thank him for being a great karate partner and an even better friend. I also thank Hamad Al-Azary for sharing my love of coffee and exuding a contagious passion for research. His dedication and professionalism towards his research is inspiring. I thank James Boylan for his help with both my memory program and statistical analyses during my honors thesis. This assistance has been instrumental throughout my continued memory research. Finally, I wish to thank our lab mother hen, Dr. Karen Hussey for her toughness, advice, and feedback during my time in the Katz lab. I will think of her every time I consume large quantities of vegetables in one sitting. To my other friends in the psychology department that I have grown close to: particularly Matt, Bryan, Nick A., Mikayla, Alex, and others, I thank them for their friendship, expertise, advice, and encouragement throughout these past two years. Finally, I wish to also thank my examination committee for reviewing my long thesis document and for their insightful comments and suggestions. Family and Friends: I would especially like to thank my family: my parents Todd and Dianna, and my siblings Kaity, Alex, and Emily, for their continued encouragement and support in many ways, throughout my long academic journey. Specifically, I would like ii to thank both my Dad for inadvertently sparking my interest in popular music-evoked memories by playing many Motown songs in the car when I was a child, and my Mom, for constantly providing an ear. To Alasdair, I thank him for his unconditional encouragement and love throughout the past 3 years. Last but certainly not least, I would also like to thank some of my closest friends: Meghan, Meghan, Chelsea, Miki, Djurdja, Sarah, Natalie, and Alyson for their friendship and support during my entire university career and the completion of my Master of Science degree, many from far away. iii Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ i Table of Contents ............................................................................................................... iv List of Tables .................................................................................................................... vii List of Appendices ........................................................................................................... xiv Chapter 1 ............................................................................................................................. 1 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Autobiographical memory ...................................................................................... 3 1.1.1 Emotion and retrieval .................................................................................. 4 1.1.2 Cueing autobiographical memory ............................................................... 5 1.2 Emotion and autobiographical memory: Measurement .......................................... 6 1.3 Music-cued autobiographical memory studies ....................................................... 8 1.3.1 Music and emotion: Classical music ........................................................... 8 1.3.2 Popular music and autobiographical memory ........................................... 10 1.4 Summary of purpose of thesis ............................................................................... 14 Chapter 2 ........................................................................................................................... 15 2 Study 1 ......................................................................................................................... 15 2.1 Method .................................................................................................................. 16 2.1.1 Participants ................................................................................................ 16 2.1.2 Materials ................................................................................................... 17 2.1.3 Procedure .................................................................................................. 18 2.2 Results and discussion .......................................................................................... 21 2.2.1 Demographic questions ............................................................................. 21 2.2.2 Memory – Relevant measures ................................................................... 23 2.2.3 Supplementary analyses ............................................................................ 27 iv 2.2.4 What predicts AM recall? ......................................................................... 31 2.2.5 The database .............................................................................................. 33 Chapter 3 ........................................................................................................................... 35 3 Study 2 ......................................................................................................................... 35 3.1 Method .................................................................................................................. 37 3.1.1 Participants ................................................................................................ 37 3.1.2 Materials ................................................................................................... 38 3.1.3 Procedure .................................................................................................. 40 3.2 Results and discussion .......................................................................................... 48 3.2.1 Preliminary analyses: Recall statistics, information on the dependent measures and manipulation checks ........................................................... 49 3.2.2 The main analyses: Emotion, cue emotionality, relevance ....................... 62 3.2.3 Results summary ......................................................................................

  • Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget
    Chapter 1 Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget In This Chapter ▶ Gathering song ideas from anywhere ▶ Organizing and tracking your thoughts and inspirations ▶ Documenting your ideas his book is for everyone who shares the dream of harnessing the song- Twriting power we all have within. You’ve come to the right place if your heart keeps telling you to write a song, but your mind is uncertain as to the process of the craft or what’s required to create a really good song. You bought the right book if you’re wondering how to collect and organize your ideas. You have found the right resource if you have pieces of songs lying in notebooks and on countless cassettes but can’t seem to put the pieces together. This book is for you if you have racks of finished song demos but don’t know what to do next to get them heard. When you know the elements that make up a great song and how the pros go about writing one, you can get on the right path to creating one of your own. Unless you’re lucky enough to have fully finished songs come to you in your deepest dreams, or to somehow take dictation from the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley (the publishing area located in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s), most of us need to summon the forces, sources, reasons, and seasons that give us the necessary motivation to draw a song from our heart of hearts. Given that initial spark, you then need the best means of gathering those ideas, organizing them, putting them into form, and documenting them as they roll COPYRIGHTEDin — before it’s too late and they MATERIAL roll right out again! Have you ever noticed how you can remember a powerful dream just after you’ve awakened only for it to vanish into thin air in the light of day? Song ideas can be just as illusive.
