Have you ever chosen an answer on a multiple-choice test, been confident you were correct, and then afterwards discovered you were wrong? Can you explain this in terms of context-dependent coding? Has the same thing ever happened on an essay test? What can you say about this? As discussed in the chapter, whether or not we forget is heavily influenced by what happens while we’re learning (i.e., during encoding). What is your environment like when you study? Many students study while lying on their beds with music playing. Knowing what you know about context-dependent coding, do you think this is a good idea? What would be the best setting for studying? What can you do to make your own environment optimal for studying?
