Question 35

Context-Dependent Memory Study

A psychology student conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate context-dependent memory. They used an opportunity sample of 18 participants in a repeated-measures design.

All participants learned a list of 20 unrelated words under two different conditions:

  • Condition A (Different Context): Words were learned in a quiet classroom and recalled in a noisy sports hall.
  • Condition B (Same Context): Words were learned in a quiet classroom and recalled in the same quiet classroom.

Table 1: Mean number of words correctly recalled and standard deviations
