Why are memories associated with music more vivid than other memories? Why does music help people recall what they experienced long ago? Our guest today is Dr. Kelly Jakubowski, and she is an expert in the field of musical perception, memory, and the science of music. Her work on musically evoked autobiographical memories provides answers to these questions. In this episode of Lifetimes of Listening we explore how musical memories occur. Stories from Chris Maluszyniski, Kathleen Prudic and Hans York provide moving examples of how music can strengthen our memories of the past. We connect with music so much that it’s often impossible to remember without also hearing.#KellyJakubowski, #ChrisMaluszyniski, #KathleenPrudic, #HansYork, #LifetimesofListening, #MEAM, #MusicalMemories, #HowMusicEvokesMemories, #MusicandScienceLab, #DurhamUniversity
