- Godden and Baddery (1975)
- 18 Participants
- 4 Conditions: - Wet and Dry - Dry and Wet - Dry and Dry, - Wet andWet
- All Participants experienced all 4 conditions
- 36 two or three syllable words used
- Results show recall was better when in same environment
- 37% of words for Dry and 32% for Wet
- Results showed alot of forgetting in all environments
- Shows context dependency isn't the only reason for forgetting
- Situation and task were artificial: results not valid
- Environment 'normal' to divers so had ecological validty
- Clear controls means it replicable and therefore reliable
- Conc: Context is a retrieval cue, so when the environment at encoding is the same as at recall, forgetting is less
