Culture in music cognition

Culture in music cognition refers to the impact that a person's culture has on their music cognition, including their preferences, emotion recognition, and musical memory. Musical preferences are biased toward culturally familiar musical traditions beginning in infancy, and adults' classification of the emotion of a musical piece depends on both culturally specific and universal structural features.^[1]^[2]^[3] Additionally, individuals' musical memory abilities are greater for culturally familiar music than for culturally unfamiliar music.^[4]^[5] The sum of these effects makes culture a powerful influence in music cognition.
