Read the following paragraphs and write a description of how either context or state dependence (or both) is at work in the example. In addition, other memory concepts might also be at work, let’s see if you can suggest any other memory concepts. 1. Ricki studied for her exam with music blaring from the stereo and every light in the room on. When she took the exam in the dimly lit, quiet lecture hall, she struggled to recall the information she thought she’d learned so well. 2. As Danielle sat outside under a tree on a warm, breezy afternoon, she read over her notes and made up rhymes that would help her to remember the terms better. During her exam that evening, she had a hard time recalling the rhymes until a blower came on and warm air rushed by her. 3. Luis was extremely frustrated after he forgot his workout clothes on the bus, then dealt with an irritable locker room clerk, and finally realized he’d spent the last of his money on the locker rental. He quickly memorized the lock combination by repeating it over and over to himself before tearing it up and tossing it in the garbage bin. When he returned the next day in a great mood, he could not remember the combination. As soon as he began to feel frustrated, he recalled the combination.
