Description
This study explores how melody and rhythm influence memory by comparing recall accuracy and false memory rates between spoken and sung presentations of a DRM word list. Using the familiar melody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," we explore whether music improves the recall of studied words and reduces the false recall of critical lures.
