Research Topic:
For my research, I am interested in the memory behind literacy. For example, why is it possible for one to memorize a variety of songs and words vs. a simple text of information. Throughout ones entire life, new literacy vocabulary and ideas are being learned and changed. Therefore, memory has a big impact in the world of literacy.
Research Questions:
Why is easier to memorize and recall a song? Is it the tune or melody?
Is it the genre that interests a person?
Is it something they are familiar with?
Is it the chosen words?
Is it the repetition of words?
Is it the meaning behind words?
Is it the context in which the words are being used?
What I need to find:
is it scientific based?
is it literacy based?
does it change from person to person?
is it the use of words that we use most often?
is music more engaging to the senses?
Formulate research plan:
who- my younger cousin who is 11
where-
how many subjects- I am thinking about someone who is younger(my cousin) and someone who is older
what-
observing how many trials it takes to to memorize a song
observing which genres are easily memorize
observing if words are understood by just listening and basing it around context
observing if an older song in an unfamiliar genre is harder to memorize/ understand
