Resumen

El efecto de la música de fondo en los procesos cognitivos está bien documentado. Sin embargo, la influencia de la preferencia musical en la memoria permanece en gran medida inexplorada. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar si la preferencia musical afecta el rendimiento de la memoria y los juicios de confianza. En primer lugar, los participantes clasificaron siete géneros musicales de mayor a menor preferencia. A continuación, leyeron un artículo de divulgación científica mientras escuchaban una canción correspondiente a su género musical preferido o al menos preferido. Tras la lectura, los participantes completaron una tarea distractora y, a continuación, respondieron a una prueba de recuerdo con clave sobre el contenido del artículo. Los participantes también indicaron su confianza en que su respuesta era correcta. Los resultados mostraron que la preferencia musical no tuvo ningún efecto sobre el rendimiento de la memoria o la confianza. Estos resultados sugieren que la preferencia musical no influye en el recuerdo ni en la confianza en las respuestas.
