The Effect of Sad and Cheerful Music Samples on Short Term Memory

Abstract

The study investigated listening cheerful versus sad music samples on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and short-term memory performance. For this purpose, a random sample comprised of 65 university students (33 males (50.8%) and 32 females (49.2%)) enrolled in music education programs was gathered. The average age of the participants is 21.68 (S = 2.48, range = 18-30). To assess memory performance, the study utilized Number Sequence Learning Test with reverse and straight coding, coupled with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis to assess the autonomic nervous system activation. The analyses led to the observation that the heart rate and LF/HF levels when listening to cheerful music were higher than the heart rate and LF/HF levels when listening sad music. Furthermore, HF when listening to sad music was found to be higher than HF when listening to cheerful music. HRV figures prior to listening to music, on the other hand, did not vary. The increase in high frequency (HF) figures when listening to sad music is deemed to be an indicator of parasympathetic activation. The HRV values after listening to cheerful music did not exhibit variation based on gender. However, the HRV values after listening to sad music were found to vary based on gender, with men exhibiting LF and LF/HF scores higher than those of women. This observation suggests that men had higher levels of sympathetic activation and were thus affected more by sad music. The participants’ straight coding results for the number sequence did not vary between the time frame before listening to music, and the time frame after listening sad as well as cheerful music. However, variation between reverse coding scores before listening to music and after listening sad as well as cheerful music were observed with the number sequences. The reverse coding scores regarding the number sequence before listening to music were found to be lower than the comparable scores after listening sad as well as cheerful music. All these findings suggest that both cheerful and sad music samples have certain positive effects on short term memory performance.
