Question

Godden and Baddeley conducted a memory experiment using two groups of scuba divers. One group listened to a list of words while sitting on a beach. The other group listened to the same list of words while 10 feet underwater. Then the groups were tested on the words. What did the researchers discover about context and learning?

A. Participants who listened to the words on the beach did best, regardless of where they were asked to recall them.
B. Participants who listened to the words underwater did best, regardless of where they were asked to recall them.
C. There was no difference between the two groups.
D.The greatest recall for the words happened when learning and testing were in the same context (e.g., learn underwater, get tested underwater).

Answer 1

Answer: D.The greatest recall for the words happened when learning and testing were in the same context (e.g., learn underwater, get tested underwater).

Explanation:

D is the correct option this is because of the fact that if the person will listen the words that belong to the same context and get tested underwater can give indication of the fact that how much the person have listen and interpreted the words although the air was not the medium for the transmission of sound but water was.
