GESANG MACHT BLÖD
Wozu sind solche wissenschaftlichen Studien sonst da, wenn nicht um voreilige Schlüsse draus zu ziehen, um zu Dingen zu kommen die man eh schon wusste. In einer Studie über Gedächtnis & Musik lesen wir z.B. genau das: Wer elektronische Musik ohne Gesang hört, der beansprucht sein Gehirn mehr. Oder: Gesang macht blöd.
The researchers were surprised to find a difference in how we recall songs with words versus instrumentals.When the mute button was hit during the word-free theme from “The Pink Panther” (sorry to do that again) people relied on many different parts of the auditory cortex to fill in the blanks. Fewer brain parts were required to continue “hearing” songs with words. “It makes us think that lyrics might be the focus of the memory,” Kraemer said.
