The Influence of Relaxation Music on Abstract Visual Short Term Memory Retrieval Task at Young Students at Psychology

摘要

The study is focused on highlighting the influence of relaxation music on correct and incorrect visual memory retrieval process using abstract figures. Method: The participants were 68 undergraduate students, age between 19 and 23 years old (M=20.54;S.D.= 1.14), students at psychology, University of Bucharest. Instruments: NVLT test (Vienna Tests System, 2012). Results highlights that sum of incorrect “yes” answers were statistically significant lower for the experimental group expose to relaxation music than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: listening relaxation music has a significant effect in increasing the number of correct abstract form recognition stimuli in visual abstract forms memory retrieval.
