Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract A strong body of evidence indicates humans remember music far better than other stimuli because of repetition, emotional content, and autobiographical salience, as well as music’s status as a highly structured stimulus. Musical memory functions in many ways like memory for words, pictures, and other experiences, and is consistent with standard models of memory and with schema theory. The musical memories of professional and nonprofessional musicians alike are often more detailed, more accurate, and demonstrate a greater capacity than other memory systems. Musical memory follows psychological laws of general memory, including levels of processing, serial position effects, and preferential processing for emotionally meaningful stimuli. This chapter reviews these memory abilities and their scientific underpinnings. The primary focus is on long-term memory, because much more is known about it, and this is the level at which most people meaningfully engage with music day-to-day via their long-term memory for songs.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
