Frontiers | Revisiting the musical reminiscence bump: insights from neurocognitive and social brain development in adolescence

this is a hypothesis we flesh out in a recent perspective paper, headed by ⭐️ undergrad student rishi kudaravalli with @psycheloui.bsky.social & juliet davidow. we argue increases in music reward valuation during adol. may support greater music-related memories from this time tinyurl.com/2r8ccs3d

Music listening is enjoyed across the lifespan and around the world. This has spurred many theories on the evolutionary purpose of music. The Music for Socia...

and 2) given that childhood + adolescent music still had a greater likelihood of eliciting MEAMs even after covarying for differences in familiarity, developmental process during this dev. window may support this music-related reminiscence bump effect in adulthood

we think this may suggest: 1) methods used to elicit the music-RB effect (i.e., drawing from billboard charts during and identifying popular songs during participants' childhood/adol/adulthood) may be selectively better at IDing music participants *actually* heard during adolescence vs. childhood ..

we also replicated the reminiscence bump effect in our familiar music condition: adolescent music elicited the most MEAMs compared to child + adult music. however, when we covaried for self-reported familiarity across these time periods, there was no difference in MEAMs btn child + adolescent music

plot showing differences in MEAM probability (log odds) across music popular in listeners' childhood (5-9) vs. adolescence (14-18) vs. adulthood (20-25). there are greater log odds of MEAM occurrence for adolescent music over both childhood + adulthood music. childhood music also had greater log odds than adulthood music.

plot showing differences in MEAM probability (log odds) across music popular in listeners' childhood (5-9) vs. adolescence (14-18) vs. adulthood (20-25) with an additional covariate of self-reported familiarity. there are greater log odds of MEAM occurrence for adolescent music over adulthood music, and childhood music over adulthood music. however, there is no difference between childhood + adolescent music.

self-reported if the music elicited a MEAM + how familiar the music was. we found that self-reported familiarity was positively related to MEAMs in response to familiar, but not unfamiliar music. we think this may suggest unfamiliar may music access autobio memory differently than familiar music ..

plot showing the relationship between self-reported familiarity of music clips and the probability that that music evoked an autobiographical memory for music manipulated to be familiar or unfamiliar. the relationship is significant + positive in the familiar music condition, but non-significant in the unfamiliar music condition.

how can music we haven’t heard before elicit music-evoked autobio memories (MEAMs)? in a secondary analysis, we tested the perception of such music sounding familiar as supporting this phenomenon. older adults listened to preselected familiar + unfamiliar music (genre+acoustically matched) and ...

On the role of familiarity and developmental exposure in music-evoked autobiographical memories

with an uptick in #musicscience interest on here i thought i’d take the time to introduce myself w a few recent pubs! im a 4th yr phd candidate @ northeastern u interested in music, reward, and development. to start off is a recently in press paper at memory: tinyurl.com/2r6jed9r

Music-evoked autobiographical memories (MEAMs) are typically elicited by music that listeners have heard before. While studies that have directly manipulated music familiarity show that familiar mu...

we hope this scale will help in investigating long-term associations of informal music exposure in the absence of longitudinal studies, and it is freely available with the preprint! #musicscience 🎧🧪

scores on our measure (which broadly measure the extent to which adults were informally exposed to music in their homes as a child) were related to adult socioemotional outcomes, like trait anxiety & resilience, as well as performance on a melodic perception task ...

here, we validated a retrospective version of the Music@Home scale to measure childhood home musical environments. we preserved three factors from the preschool version of this scale and identified two novel factors for retrospective reporting ...
