The Classroom as Learning Context: Changing Rooms Affects Performance.
Metzger, Richard L.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n4 p440-42 Aug 1979

Two undergraduate classes were given quizzes in their regular classroom over a baseline period, were moved to a different room, and finally were returned to their classroom. Moving had a significant deleterious effect. (Author/RD)
