When we get old, we may forget many things from the past. 1
Sarah Sauve, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK, did a study on this. She invited 121 people to take part in it. They were between 18 and 86 years old. Sarah first asked them to listen to three musical clips (片段). 2 They needed to make a note whenever they heard the same clips at the concert.
To her surprise, the older people were just as good at remembering the clips as the younger ones were. " 3 When we listen to music, the amygdala (杏仁体) in our brain 'lights up'. This makes our brain think of music as something important. Other parts of the brain also work to keep this 'important' information. So our memory of the music can last for a long time," Sarah says. 4 Doctors may use this to treat illnesses that hurt people's memory. Music may help these people remember things.
5 As we all know, music has the power to make us excited or relaxed. Experts believe music can make people, even babies, more creative, smarter and happier. Some experts suggest playing slow music to help us pay attention when we study. It's said music can also improve listening skills and language abilities.
