Question

A student's class always met in room 100. However, when that student took the final exam, the class met in room 317. The student experienced memory problems at the final exam. What could account for the student's memory problems?

Answer 1

Context-dependent memory

Step-by-step explanation:

Context-Dependent memory is that we remember information better when we attempt to recall it in the context in which we learned it. If we study with the TV or stereo on, we also take the test within the "Context" of the TV or Stereo.

In the case of this student, he can't recall some episodes because the context present in room 100 and room 317 are not the same

Answer 2

Context-dependent memory

Step-by-step explanation:

Context-dependent memory refers to improved recall of specific episodes or information when the context present at encoding and retrieval are the same. For the case of the students, the contexts present at encoding and retrieval are not the same, hence their memory problem can be attached to a context dependent one.
