Environmental Context—Dependent Memory
The impact on recall of reinstatement or change of the environment existing at the time of learning is reviewed. While strong and stable effects have been observed for recall, effects on recognition rarely occur because the word itself is a powerful cue (the outshining hypothesis). A classification of context effects is presented and the conditions where such effects are likely to be maximized ...
متن کاملEnvironmental context and human memory
Five experiments examined the effects of environmental context on recall and recognition. In Experiment I, variability of input environments produced higher free recall performance than unchanged input environments. Experiment 2 showed improvements in cued recall when storage and test contexts matched, using a paradigm that unconfounded the variables of context mismatching and context change. I...
متن کاملConceptual implicit memory and environmental context.
Changes in environmental context between encoding and retrieval often affect explicit memory but research on implicit memory is equivocal. One proposal is that conceptual but not perceptual priming is influenced by context manipulations. However, findings with conceptual priming may be compromised by explicit contamination. The present study examined the effects of environmental context on conc...
متن کاملEnvironmental Imperatives Reconsidered
Review of late Holocene paleoenvironmental and cultural sequences from four regions of western North America shows striking correlations between drought and changes in subsistence, population, exchange, health, and interpersonal violence during the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (a.d. 800–1350). While ultimate causality is difficult to identify in the archaeological record, synchrony of the environm...
متن کاملWhen Unfamiliarity Matters: Changing Environmental Context Between Study and Test Affects Recognition Memory for Unfamiliar Stimuli
Performance in recognition memory has been shown to be relatively insensitive to the effect of environmental context changes between study and test. Recent evidence (P. Dalton, 1993) showed that environmental context changes between study and test affected recognition memory discrimination for unfamiliar stimuli (faces). The present study presented 2 experiments that replicated this finding, re...
