SOME ASPECTS OF INFORMATION INTERACTION IN MUSICAL MEMORY PROCESSES

The purpose of this study is to identify some of the features and techniques of musical memory development as an information process in which, along with capturing, storing and reproducing forms of musical experience, there are aspects of the participation of memory itself in its formation. The specific features of mental memory include its ability to reproduce the past precisely as the past, but with a focus on the future. The dominant role in musical memory belongs to the auditory component, which is organically interconnected with figurative, emotional, verbal-logical, and, what is especially evident in performing musicians, with motor (psychomotor) memory. The selection of sensory information, as well as the selection of operations necessary for this, is determined by solving strategic tasks. The enlargement of information units, grouping and hierarchical structuring make it possible to overcome the information burden, significantly increasing the amount of information processed. The multiplicity and multilevelity of form, fret organization, and melodic pattern provide a semantic hierarchy of perception due to the enlargement of musical information. The mechanisms for regulating the flow of information are encoding and repetition. A flexible system of short-term memory codes helps optimize information processing processes, increases the productivity of RAM, and allows for greater freedom in the implementation of artistic ideas. The role of repetition as a means of preserving information is also considered. It is noted that with any mnemic technique, information is recoded, and the operational mechanisms differ in their individual uniqueness. Individual experience, the level of mental activity, and in musical activity, the subjective significance of musical material affect the selection processes and the efficiency of memory, transforming the already established musical experience.
