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

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
November 10, 2024 at 4:34 PM
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

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 ..

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 ...
