Recall Improves in Short-Term Memory The More Recall Context Resembles Learning Context
Falkenberg, Philippe R.
Journal of Experimental Psychology, 9, 1, 39-47, Sep 72
Eight experiments are reported: the first four demonstrate the context effects in short-term-memory (that retrieval from STM improves as the context for learning is made more similar to the context for retrieval), and four more experiments examine the mechanism by which the context effect might operate.
