An advertisement that really sticks out to me is the Education Connection commercial that used to come on tv all the time. I used to hear the "Education Connection" song and get so excited to sing along to it!! This was years back probably when I was about in 6th or 7th grade. It came on this nickelodeon channel I used to watch, and it was always the go to commercial in between shows. It literally came on my television an insane amount, which is probably why I still know the jingle and all the words to this very day! I have always been the type of person who hears a song and immediately learns the words and knows the tune super quickly especially if it's catchy. I think the main reason I remember this commercial so well is definitely the song. To be honest, I really couldn't even tell you anything about "education connection" and what it has to offer for people who are interested in signing up for that. I just know that it's education for free (considering that's what the song is about). I strictly just know the words and tune to the song. I have always loved commercials with jingles!
This definitely has a lot to do with my temporal lobe since the temporal lobe deals with hearing, comprehension of language, and long-term memory. The hippocampus plays a huge role in this as well because it is one of the major storehouses in the brain for long-term memory. This is what helped me recall all the words/tune to the commercial even though its been over 10 years since it's I've actually heard it. I will also add that I think my amygdala plays a small role in this as well considering that part of the brain is what deals with memory and emotions. I get pretty excited whenever I hear this song because I relate it to a happy memory of me always singing along to this song with friends at school because they knew all the words as well. Any time I recall a song from years back or hear something that brings back memories from long ago, I know that my hippocampus & amygdala are probably at work!
