OSPoM: Dr Kelly Jakubowski, Durham University
‘The power(?) of music: Probing the relationship between music and autobiographical memories’
Many people think that music is a particularly “powerful” cue for bringing back memories from our lives. Empirical research has partially supported this idea, by showing that music can evoke more vivid and emotional autobiographical memories than various other everyday cues. But it is still not well understood as to why music might be a particularly salient cue for such memories. In this talk I will discuss recent studies in which I've been probing this question, in an attempt to begin to identify the factors that underpin this complex relationship between music and autobiographical memories.
Dr Kelly Jakubowski is Assistant Professor in Music Psychology at Durham University, where she co-directs the Music and Science Lab. Her research examines a range of topics within music psychology and empirical musicology, including memory for music, music-evoked autobiographical memory, musical imagery and imagination, earworms, absolute pitch, musical timing and movement, and cross-cultural music perception. She has recently completed a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship on music-evoked autobiographical memory, and has previously held teaching posts at Goldsmiths, University of London and King's College London.
