Imagine your favorite song is playing on a constant loop, even when it's not. That is what driving by your favorite spot gets you day and night. The problem with this scenario is that it creates a lot of unnecessary noise, attention-grabbing events, and stress.
The same can be said for your car radio.
If you have only a few favorite songs on your playlist, then you might enjoy the music while driving. But if your car radio is like most people's, it will play the same songs on repeat for hours.
Most people don't really like hearing these songs over and over again. It can bother them or distract them. So why do they keep going?
Scientists say that our brains seem to be hardwired for repetition. Repetition helps us to understand what we're seeing or listening to by making it more predictable. It also helps us achieve a goal or get an idea across. The key is to make that repetition meaningful, the same way a child learns a song by singing it again and again.
Dr. Richard Haier is the chair of neuroscience at the University of California at Irvine and has spent many years studying how our brains perceive and process information. Together with his colleagues, he found that people who seem to have repetitive patterns in their lives have weaker auditory memory. This means that their brains aren't as good at storing these familiar melodies or sounds in their long-term memory.
This theory is supported by a study of songwriting. Brain researchers have long noted that some songwriters seem to be in love with repetition, while others seem to want to avoid it as much as possible.
"For example, Peter Gabriel (and) Adele (don't) write very repetitive music," says Dr. Haier. The music of these two artists consists of many different sounds and melodies, in contrast with many other artists such as Oasis or The Beatles whose songs consist mainly of one repeating sound or melody. The work of Gabriel and Adele suggests that we are hardwired to find repetition interesting, comforting, and recognizable - whether we like it or not.
Repetition in songs is also used to create a sense of rhythm. Think of the song "Same Song on Repeat" by the band Mayday Parade. The music is complex, with many different sounds and melodies, but you can still easily hear the beat and predict where the next note or chord is coming from.
This is because repetition has given us a sense for what's supposed to be there and what's not - like traffic lights come on at night or Christmas decorations appear in December.
But just like listening to your favorite song over and over again may start to sound old after a while, so does looking at something that repeats itself too much. This can create a visual or sensory overload.
That's why when you turn on your favorite song on repeat, you may want to make sure it doesn't drive everyone around you crazy
