Türkçe'de niteleyici ismin önüne gelir (müzik tarafından tetiklenen anılar). İngilizce'de uzun niteleyiciler ismin arkasına gelir: memories triggered by music. Bunlar aslında kısaltılmış relative clause'lardır: the woman (who is) sitting by the window. Akademik metinlerde bu yapı bilgiyi özlü biçimde paketlemenin temel yoludur.

A piece of music heard in childhood can activate memories that had seemed permanently lost. This phenomenon — the ability of sound to reach into the neural architecture of the past — has become one of the most studied and most debated areas in cognitive neuroscience.
Patients suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease, their verbal communication almost entirely gone, have been observed responding to music stored in what researchers call procedural and emotional memory. The pathways used to access this music appear largely unaffected by the disease — offering a remarkable window into the mystery of identity.
The fact that music can access neural pathways largely untouched by dementia is extraordinary. Researchers working in this field — neurologists, psychologists, and music therapists — speak of "involuntary memory": the experience of being suddenly transported, without warning or will, by a sound carrying emotional information laid down decades earlier.
The claim that music could serve as a therapeutic tool for dementia patients is now widely supported by evidence gathered in dozens of clinical settings. The desire to harness this effect therapeutically has driven significant research investment.
Music, it seems, speaks to a part of the self that language and conscious memory cannot reach. The question occupying researchers today is not merely whether this is true, but how — and the possibility that the answer lies in the deepest structures of human identity is one few scientists are comfortable dismissing.
