Question

Information learned while a person is ________ is best recalled when that person is ________. fearful; happy drunk; drunk drunk; sober sad; happy angry; calm

Answer 1

Generally, we recall information best if we are in the same situation as when we learnt it. So we're looking for two similar situations: and among the options the only one that describes the "same" situation is 

drunk -drunk. 

So if we learn something while we're drunk, being drunk again could remind us of this thing. 

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is: "Information learned while a person is drunk is best recalled when that person is drunk."

Explanation:

This occurs due to a phenomenon called state-dependent memory which refers to the idea that memory retrieval is most efficient when people are in the same state they were when the information was learned or the memory was formed. Thus, happy memories come to mind more easily when the person is happy, and bad memories when people are angry or sad.
