Musik aus unserer Jugend hinterlässt einen emotionalen Eindruck in unserem Memo

„This is called the reminiscence bump – the moment when songs do more than impress the ear. They mark identity. Dr. Iballa Burunat, the lead researcher, describes why this moment is so emotionally charged.

“Think of the adolescent brain as a sponge, supercharged by curiosity and a craving for reward, but without a fully developed filter.”

“And it’s because it’s still maturing that our strong emotional experiences, such as the songs we love, get absorbed more deeply and vividly, and leave a lasting impression; so the persistence of this reminiscence effect just shows how fundamental music is in identity formation.”“
