- GRANT ET AL
- Background
- Context dependent memory Godden and Baddeley 1975 studied effects of context on memory of deep sea divers
- Aim
- Investigate context dependent memory effects on recall and recognition on students
- Method
- Laboratory experiment. IV: Reading condition, testing condition. DV: Multiple choice and short answer tests
- Participants
- 8 Experimenters recruited 5 participants each. 39 Total (one outlier) 17 females 23 males mean age 23.4 years
- Controls
- 1) Background music for all 2) test and study conditions varied so not just noise. 3) Standardised instructions 4) recall test done first 5)Earphones 6) Reading time
- Procedure
- Participants standardised instructions, class project ,voluntary. Read article, both conditions wore earphones-control. Participants reading times measured-control Recall recognition test and debrief.
- Results
- RECALL: Silent test and study 6.7 whereas silent test and noisy 5.4
- RECOGNITION: Silent test and study 14.3 whereas silent test and noisy 12.7
- Evaluation
- ETHICS: Informed consent, voluntarily free will, protected from harm and debrief
- VALIDITY: highly controlled lab
- ECOLOGICAL VALIDITY: Reading article and answering Qs like learning material classroom. BUT headphones and background noise reduces EV. Test material learnt more than few mins
- RELIABILITY: Highly controlled replicable, scientific research
