The book portrays the differences in the performance of musicians and non-musicians in working memory tests, based on Alan Baddeley’s model, from the adaptation of a pictorial memory test (TEPIC-M) that made it possible to investigate the processing of short-term visual-spatial and verbal information through recall tasks. Working memory refers to an integrative model of active memory that includes a visuospatial register, specialised in visual and/or spatial coding, and a phonological register, specialised in verbal coding, supervised by an executive centre. The research was carried out with university students from the Music, Literature and Engineering programmes at the Federal University of Uberlândia. Check out the results of this interesting research involving recall tasks.
