    "abstract": "We explored the extent to which working memory\nunderpins the processing of relational information\nin melodies. Using a between subjects design, one\ngroup of participants was primed with a melodic\nstream while performing a concurrent 2-back task\nwhile the other group was also primed with the\nmelodic stream but did not perform a concurrent\ntask. Participants were then given a melodic\nrelational categorization task where relations\n(melodic contour and intervals) could either match\nor not match the primed melody. Reaction times on\nthe categorization task for primed melodies tended\nto be faster than for non-primed melodies in the notask\ncondition, suggesting that relational\ninformation in melodies could influence behavior\nmore under conditions where working memory\nresources were not being used in concomitant\ntasks. Given the marginal results, more data should\nbe collected to ascertain the full extent to which\nworking memory is involved in the processing of\nrelational melodic content.",
