Any encoded aspect of event could potentially help retrieval. Cues just need to be effective (by matching). Divers study list of words on land or underwater. Results show interaction of learning & retrieval conditions. % of words recalled increased if divers had the same environment for studying and testing (i. e. water/water or land/land) rather than different environments. State dependent effects (internal state as context) Recall better if drunk than if sober. Similar effects for marijuana vs. tobacco - memory better in matching psychoactive state. But overall, better sober than drunk, and better with tobacco than marijuana. Taxonomizing and assessing explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory is tested with direct tasks. Recall (tell me what you saw before) Recognition (which of these have you seen before?) Encoding - acquire information via perceptual system.
