What is happening in our brains when we listen to a song over and over again to memorize the lyrics? Is it like exercising a muscle or is it just constant repetition?
In: Biology
Many things are happening in our brains!!! Encoding the information into short-term memory, rehearsal (repeating it over and over) helps transfer it to long-term, your brain starts to recognize patterns, you group phrases together into units so they become easier to remember, you might be associating things in the song with experiences/emotions, and then yes just repeated exposure over time does strengthen your recall.
