ABSTRACT
A quick glance at several journals specializing in psychology of music, such as Psychology of Music, Music Perception, and Psychomusicology, shows a healthy current interest in research on music cognition and memory for music. By and large, the methodology in such research relies on traditional paradigms of cognition and memory research in general. However, tweaks and adaptations are often necessary to accommodate the challenges that arise because of the nature of musical materials and the differences in how we process such materials.
