Background -Listening to music while studying/working has been a commonly observed trait amongst youngsters. Effect of music and personality on short term memory and episodic memory has been studied but there is less evidence regarding the recall of semantic memory. Hence the purpose of the study was to explore the effect of different types of music and personality type on Semantic Memory Retrieval. Methods-In this cross-sectional study, asymptotic adults aged between 18-24yrs were administered a questionnaire to determine their personality type. Later, they were assessed on questions related to semantic memory recall in three different conditions namely; Silence, with Lyrical music and with Instrumental music. Total Time taken and the Total Score in all three conditions were analyzed. Conclusion- The mean of the Total Time and score was significantly more for Silence as compared to music condition. However they performed the fastest while instrumental music was played. There was no significant difference in Total Time as well as Total Score for both introverts and extroverts
