Music is a powerful memory cue that can reliably transport us to our past -- in effect, strengthening the associative bond between our present and our past. Modern neuroscientific investigations of episodic memory could benefit from the use of music due to its role as a potent memory cue. In this proposal, my goal is to understand how music shapes memory for past events and how these associations between events are represented in the brain. The proposed work builds on recent functional MRI studies that have used naturalistic experimental paradigms such as movie watching and recall to test and refine theories of memory that (previously) had only been tested under highly-controlled conditions. Here we explore how film scores shape memory for movies. In movies, film scores sometimes have recurrent structure where a particular theme song will be repeated throughout, potentially bringing back to mind information from previous events in which that theme song had been played. Based on prior work showing that retrieval of a memory strengthens that memory, we predict that the presence of recurrent musical structure in a film will trigger retrieval of previous events during movie-watching, which (in turn) will boost memory for these events on a later recall test. In our study, two groups of participants are recruited: The first group watches a version of a movie in its original form (with the film score intact) and the control group watches the same film with the entire film score removed (while preserving dialogue and ambient sounds). Participants from both groups are asked to return the following day to recall the entire movie in chronological order. By comparing neural activity between scenes containing music and previous scenes containing the same (or similar) music between the two groups, we expect to find evidence of neural reinstatement of past scenes in the music group; furthermore, we predict that higher levels of reinstatement during movie-viewing will be associated with better subsequent recall of the movie in the music group relative to the control group. This work will provide basic-science insight into how memory works in real-world contexts. It will also shed light on how musical cues can strengthen memories and improve recall; if the predicted cueing effects are observed, these techniques could be used in future work to boost performance in memory-impaired clinical populations.

音乐是一种强大的记忆提示，可以可靠地将我们运送到过去 - 效果，加强我们现在与过去之间的关联纽带。现代的 神经科学对情节记忆的研究可能会受益于音乐的使用 作为有效记忆提示的角色。在此提案中，我的目标是了解音乐如何塑造记忆 对于过去的事件以及事件之间的这些关联如何在大脑中代表。 拟议的工作建立在最近使用自然主义实验的最新功能性MRI研究的基础上 诸如电影观看和召回测试和完善记忆理论之类的范式 （以前）仅在高度控制的条件下进行了测试。在这里，我们探索电影的方式 分数为电影的记忆。在电影中，电影分数有时具有经常性结构 特定的主题曲将在整个过程中重复，有可能带回脑海 从以前播放主题曲的事件中。基于先前的工作 记忆的回收增强了记忆的增强，我们预测 电影中的复发性音乐结构将触发以前事件的检索 电影观看，这（反过来）将在以后的召回测试中增强这些事件的内存。在我们的 研究，招募了两组参与者：第一组观看电影的版本 它的原始形式（完整的电影得分），对照组与 删除了整个电影乐谱（同时保存对话和环境声音）。两者的参与者 要求小组在第二天返回以按时间顺序召回整部电影。经过 比较包含音乐的场景和以前的场景之间的神经活动 （或类似的）两组之间的音乐，我们希望找到恢复神经的证据 音乐小组的过去场景；此外，我们预测在 电影观看将与随后在音乐小组中更好地回忆电影 相对于对照组。这项工作将提供有关记忆如何工作的基本科学洞察力 在现实世界中。它还将阐明音乐线索如何增强记忆和 改善召回；如果观察到预测的提示效应，则可以在 未来的工作，以提高记忆力障碍的临床人群的表现。
