Influence of expressive versus mechanical musical performance on short-term memory for musical excerpts
Recognition memory for details of musical phrases (discrimination between targets and similar lures) improves for up to 15 s following the presentation of a target, during continuous listening to the ongoing piece.

Given that expressive performances introduced slight differences between initially presented targets and their target…
