17、ansl,the psychology professor at Cornell University who led the study.The scientists had been testing musical memory in an earlier study,and were surprised to findthat college age participants could recognize older pop and rock songs just as quickly as the newstuff.Even more surprisingly,they liked
18、the older stuff more.Therefore,the researchers decided tofind out what was happening,using clips(片段)from hits on Billboard lists between 1955 and 2009.More than 60 student volunteers(average age 20)listened to short clips of the top two pop and rocksongs of each year.The researchers quizzed them abo

23、 quality,Krumhansl guesses.She thinks the students might have memories of the 1960s music because it liveson as classics.Technology may also be a factor.The introduction of cassette tapes in the 1960s mademusic more ubiquitous(普遍存在的),and the same tapes were played long after that decade ended.Next,K
