Abstract

Binaural beats, the playing of a different frequency in each ear that the brain perceives as one, have been tested with recognition and recall in forms of simple memory tasks. However, there is a lack of investigation on binaural beats' effect on recognition and recall in more complicated ways of these forms. A relationship between these would be beneficial and additive to the field of music and memory as a significant effect could indicate a place in education for binaural beats. It is hypothesized that binaural beats will have a positive effect on higher forms of recognition and recall. Participants underwent binaural beat stimulation versus a no stimulation control condition and then completed a College Board PSAT Exam. The discussion of past methods of understanding music and memory can aid in the understanding of binaural beats' significance.
