Context-Dependent MemoryThe idea that what is learned in a given environment is best recalled in that environment.

BackgroundPrevious Studies Inconsistent findings Low ecological validity
Ecological validity – the degree to which results are applicable to the real-world, and are not limited to artificial conditions of lab.

Experiment 1ConclusionResults are “clearly in line with the context-dependent memory hypothesis” (p. 328)

Experiment 1ConclusionDespite limited control over experimental conditions, e.g., different testing times, one subject nearly getting run over by an “amphibious DUKW”!
