1 The experiment by Smith et al. (1978):Smith et al. (1978): It has been been shown that retention of learned materials is best when the environmental context is the same at encoding and retrieval (e.g., Godden & Baddeley, 1975). This is called context-dependent memory.encodingretrievalGodden & Baddeley, 1975context-dependent memory Is it possible to undo effects of context-dependent memory by instruct particiants that they should imagine the context where they learned before they retrieve information? Context-dependent memory Contributor© POSbase 2003

2 Participants learned and later retrieved words on land and under water. Three groups: LearnRetr.LearnRetr.LearnRetr. 5th floor Basement A third group had to imagine the basement before retrieval. Context-dependent memory © POSbase 2003

3 Number of accurately retrieved words Context-dependent memory © POSbase 2003

4 However, participants who learned in the 5th floor and retrieved in the basement were as good as those who learned and retrieved in the 5th floor if they imagined to be in the 5th before retrieval. Context-dependent memory The basic effect of context-dependent memory could be shown: Participants who learned and retrieved words in the 5th floor were better than participants who learned in the 5th floor and retrieved in the basement. © POSbase 2003
