Context-dependency effects are most likely to be observed:
a) on a recognition test
b) on a free recall test
c) on a cued recall test
d) only when all other cues outshine the context cues
Question 2Godden and Baddeley (1975) tested divers' memory for words by having them encode on the beach or under water. The results indicated
a) support for the encoding specificity principle because words encoded on the beach were remembered better
on the beach than under water
b) support for the encoding specificity principle because subjects who encoded and retrieved the words on the
beach did better than subjects who encoded underwater and then retrieved on the beach
c) support for transfer-appropriate processing because words encoded on the beach were remembered better on
the beach than under water
d) support for context-dependency effects because words encoded and retrieved under water were remembered
better than words encoded and retrieved on the beach
Question 3The general format of a context-dependency study involves two encoding conditions, A and B, and two retrieval conditions, A and B. Which of the following comparison among conditions would be a test of the encoding specificity principle?
a) comparing the AA group to the BA group
b) comparing the BB group to the AB group
c) comparing the AA group to the AB group
d) comparing the AB group to the BA group
Question 4Which one of the following memory tasks is going to be harder for your elderly grandfather?
