grant background
EC effects - studies have shown that recall is better when pptts are in the same environment during recall as they were when learning occurred. suggests environment is a cue to recall memory.
grant aim
to test the effect of noise as a source of context on the studying and retrieval of meaningful material in an academic context.
grant design
IMD
grant sample
39 ppts ages 17-56. eight psych students found acquantaces who would be the sample. so the first 8 were opportunity sample, the rest was a snowball sample.
grant procedure
4 conditions (both silent, study silent test noisy, study noisy test silent, and both noisy)
background noise was a tape recorded in university cafeteria at lunch time
headphones worn by all ppts
study article of psychoimmunology
after a 2 min break ppts were asked to answer to tests, short answer first, then multiple choice.
grant results
performance was significantly better if the contexts matched than if they didnt.
no significant differences between noisy and silent conditions
grant conclusions
noise does not affect capacity to study
context-dependence affected retrieval suggests that students should revise in quiet surroundings as their tests will often be held in silence.
