Abstract :
With its relaxing but nonsleepy atmosphere, lo-
fi music has gained popularity among students while
studying with younger students being more likely to listen
to music to aid in their concentration. However, previous
research on the effect of music on memory retention has
produced conflicting results on its efficacy and little
research has examined lo-fi music in particular. This study
explored the effect of lo-fi music on memory retention
through an experimental, between-groups research design.
The memory retention test utilized was patterned after
Ebbinghaus’s research on memory, a list of 50 3-letter
nonsense syllables with a consonant-vowel-consonant
pattern. An allotted time of 2 minutes to memorize and 5
minutes to write down what was retained was given to the
150 participants who were divided into two groups: default
classroom noise and lo-fi music. Through the independent
samples t-test, it was found that those exposed to lo-fi
music during the memory retention test had significantly
higher scores.
