4A ꕀ Memory recall through Sound to Visual
(generic)

OBJECTIVE
In Experiment 4A, participants will engage with 3 distinct soundscapes. For each soundscape, the same participant will listen attentively, translate their recalled memory into a drawing, and share their thoughts and emotions evoked by the auditory experience.

This approach investigates the relationship between sound, memory recall, and emotional response — a key part of my exploration.

At the same time examining how different types of soundscapes - generic, series, and abstract - impact the participant's memory recollection and thought process, helping to better understand the nuances of how auditory stimuli shape and influence personal memories and emotions.

The Tasks:

✶ Listen to a 15-sec soundscape
✶ Draw any triggered memory
