Question

You have a friend, Rachel, who cannot remember where she left a check she had received from a relative for her birthday. She remembers having drunk several cups of tea the morning she received the check, and she remembers taking it to her bedroom. Explain how Rachel can take advantage of context-dependent memory and state-dependent memory to remember where in her bedroom she left the check.

Answer 1

Answer:In order to take advantage of context-dependent memory, Rachel should return to her bedroom. Being in the place where she left the check may prime her memories of where, exactly she left it

Explanation:

Context-dependent memory refers to how easily it is to recall Information when the context under which encoding happened is the same as when the retrieval occurs.
