Dr. Vance conducted an experiment to investigate the influence of context-dependent retrieval cues on episodic memory. Using a repeated measures design, 18 participants memorized a list of 25 rare vocabulary definitions while listening to classical music, and then immediately afterward, memorized the exact same list of 25 definitions in silence. Recall was tested after each study phase.
Explain one way in which Dr. Vance could have improved this investigation.
