Ep 28: Why songs get stuck in our heads

PsychCrunch

PsychCrunch is the podcast from the British Psychological Society's Research Digest. Each episode we explore whether the findings from psychological science can make a difference in real life. Just how should we live, according to psychology? We speak to psychologists about their research and whether they apply what they've discovered in their own lives.

Why do some songs get stuck in our heads? In this episode, our presenter <a href= "https://www.ginnysmithscience.com/">Ginny Smith</a> explores the psychology of earworms. Ginny hears about the possible evolutionary reasons for why we experience the phenomenon, learns what earworms can teach us about memory — and finds out how to get rid of them.   Our guests, in order of appearance, are <a href= "https://www.dur.ac.uk/directory/profile/?id=15013">Kelly Jakubowski</a>, assistant professor of music psychology at Durham University; <a href= "https://mindbrain.ucdavis.edu/people/pjanata">Petr Janata</a>, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis; and <a href= "https://www.baylor.edu/psychologyneuroscience/index.php?id=946813"> Michael K.
