Abstract

The present study has investigated whether a high arousal level of music will enhance long-term memory performance at the same emotional valence. The research utilized a quantitative method, and research data was gathered from 18 high school and college students. Have the participants remember 15 nonsense words, do 30 math calculation questions, then do the recognition test, including half words they saw in the first stage. The results reveal that participants have similar values on the recognition test, whether in the high or low arousal conditions. Thus, the results imply that being in a high-arousal music background does not lead to better performance on long-term memory. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are presented and discussed for future researchers.
