Children's Memory for New Songs: Integration or Independent Storage of Words and Tunes?

Morrongiello, Barbara A.; Roes, Caroline L.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v50 n1 p25-38 Aug 1990

Results revealed some integration of text and tune in both preschoolers' and adults' memory of a song, with the degree of integration greater for adults than for children. Children's memory for one song component (most often the words) did not especially facilitate their memory for the other component (the tune). (RH)
