I think through the videos that I have watched, I can conclude many things related to my topic. In larger group work, with this video, I will be able to distinguish which sources are truly credible and supported by reliable sources and which are not.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
A catchy songs or music sometimes got stuck in your head. This phenomenon is called ‘earworm’ which is a situation where a part of a song (usually 15 to 20 seconds long) is repeatedly playing in your mind without you consciously make it happen. It turns out it depends on the person and / or the song is just too good and catchy that it stuck in your unconscious mind. Earworms are incredibly common. More than 90% of people report having them. But even though having a song stuck in your head seems like it wouldn’t be a good time, that’s not necessarily true. Roughly threequarters of people who report having earworms actually like or at least don’t really care about the song in their heads. The annoying tunes don’t happen as much, but we remember them more because, well, they’re annoying. Which song gets stuck in your head just seems to depend on who you are, your musical taste, and your personal memories. That’s because there are a bunch of different ways to get an earworm, and some of them depend on your individual personality.
Don’t worry, earworm is not a serious issue. And it’s also possible that we’ve trained ourselves to have a good memory from music, because oral traditions go back far longer than any writing system. For a long time, humans use songs to remember things on purpose.

He seems agree with the subject. He admits that earworm exist, he experienced earworm too, and the way that he dug the topic by reinforcing his argument one by one is also count as his bias to agree to the subject.
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
He put many obvious arguments, very obvious that its valid. But some arguments are just opened my mind to think the other perspective. Like this one I transcribed from the video
Bluma Zeigarnik was an early 20th century Soviet psychologist who noticed that servers could flawlessly remember a customer’s order right up until the order was delivered. Once the task was done, the memory went kaput. Zeigarnik spent time studying this effect and found that people who were interrupted in the middle of doing something could remember what they were doing much better than people who are allowed to finish. In other words, your brain works hard to keep a task that’s in progress in your working memory, but once you’re done, it doesn’t need that information anymore.
