Question 32

An experiment was conducted to investigate context-dependent forgetting.

In Stage 1, Group A (the 'matched' condition, containing 10 participants) learned a list of 20 English nouns in a silent study room. Group B (the 'mismatched' condition, containing 10 different participants) learned the same list of 20 English nouns in the same silent study room.

In Stage 2, Group A recalled the nouns in the same silent study room. Group B recalled the nouns in a noisy school canteen.

The raw recall scores out of 20 are shown in Table 1 below.
