This introduction to the psychology of music will explore key music perception and cognition areas such as music and language, emotion and memory as well as the applied psychology of music in a range of social, health, educational and therapeutic contexts. The big questions in the field will be considered; such as the role of music in our evolutionary history, whether some of us are 'born musical' and others are not, whether music can make us smarter, or can encourage us to behave aggressively.
