Document Summary
Any bit of learning might prepare you for some forms of memory retrieval but not others. o. If your learning produces, say, a connection between memory x and memory y, your thoughts will be guided toward y whenever you"re thinking about x. But this memory connection will have no impact if you happen not to be thinking about x. : materials learned while on land are best recalled while on land. The change in circumstances doesn"t obliterate the benefits of learning (in all conditions, performance is considerably better than 0%); nonetheless, the differences between conditions are substantial. In one study, participants learned materials in one room and were tested in a different. Just before testing, the participants were urged to think about the room in which they had learned. When tested, these participants performed as well as those participants for whom there was no room change.
