The body of research on Involuntary Musical Imagery (INMI) episodes has grown in the last 15 years (Liikkanen, 2012). While many studies have focused on the cause of INMI episodes and individual traits as they correlate with the frequency or intensity of INMI episodes, few studies have examined INMI episodes for people within specific demographics. I investigated INMI episodes as they occur for parental caregivers of young children. This exploratory study sought to better understand how daily exposure to children’s media affects the musical cognitive processes of adult caregivers.This current study set out to answer three research questions: 1) What songs occur in the INMI episodes of parents of young children?2) Is there a relationship between exposure to children’s media and the INMI episodes of parents? 3) Do correlations exist between demographic attributes, individual musical experiences, and the frequency or content of individuals’ INMI episodes?For this study, parental caregivers of children up to age seven were recruited via social media and email. Participants answered questions about their INMI episodes and kept a journal of their “INMI tunes” (as referred to in Jakubowski et al., 2017) for a 48-hour period. Participants first completed an intake survey that included questions about demographic information, exposure to children’s media, and participants’ own previous musical experiences, including the Gold-MSI. Following the intake survey, participants were asked to complete their INMI journals in a 48-hour time frame of their choice. Additional questions associated with the journal phase asked participants about the content, frequency, and duration of their INMI episodes. 40 participants completed the intake survey and 17 participants completed INMI journals. Of all the INMI tunes reported among participants, 34.9% were influenced by children’s media. A slight but significant negative correlation was found between the age of a participant’s youngest child and the percentage of reported INMI episodes that were influenced by children’s media. As there have been no published studies on the INMI episodes of children, despite recommendations from scholars (Liikkanen & Jakubowski, 2020), this initial study was intended to build a foundation upon which further research on INMI episodes in parents and children could be completed. As I currently have a larger scale investigation examining shared INMI content between parents and children underway, any data collected from this forthcoming study will be presented and discussed as well.
