Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the possible relationship between musical stimuli and the function of working/short-term memory. In order to examine this possible relationship, a pool of college-age volunteer subjects performed three trials of a memory test (classical music in background, rock music in background, and silence). The results of this study allow us to examine how listening to various types of music might affect student short term memory.
