“…Research on ''awareness'' in the performance of memory tasks has led to the distinction that has been made between implicit memory and explicit memory (Schacter, Wagner, & Buckner, 2000). Whereas there is some evidence to suggest that extra-item contexts can influence implicit memory as well as explicit memory (Parker & Gellatly, 1997), it is also clear that not all indirect tests of memory will be influenced by the reinstatement of context (Parker et al, 1999;see Murnane, Phelps, & Malmberg, 1999).…”

“…Despite the clear rationale underlying these predictions, as well as the fact that context-mediated facilitation of target memory is widely found when tested by free or cued recall (e.g., Parker, & Gellatly, 1997;Smith, & Manzano, 2010), CEs are difficult to produce reliably in recognition experiments (Hollingworth, 2006;Smith, & Manzano, 2010;Rutherford, 2000). Inconsistencies between studies that report CEs in recognition memory (e.g., Hollingworth, 2006;Russo, Ward, Geurts, & Scheres, 1999) and others that do not (e.g., Godden, & Baddeley, 1980;Murnane, & Phelps, 1993 contributed to Hanczakowski et al, (2014) proposition that while context reinstatement does reliably affect recognition processes, the effect is subtle and therefore not always detected by the presumably insensitive measure of recognition discrimination.…”

In a context of time: the impact of delay and exposure time on the emergence of memory context effects

Research on context-mediated facilitation of recognition memory distinguishes between the effects of reinstating the exact same context previously associated with a target and a context that is familiar but not directly associated with the target. As both effects are difficult to produce reliably in recognition experiments, attention has turned to measures that may explain inconsistencies, such as the extent to which instructions encourage association between targets and contexts. The aim of the current study was to examine the distinctive and interactive effects of three factors that may lead to variability in context effects (CEs), namely type of instructions given at learning, delay between learning and test, and exposure time for targets and contexts at learning. Using a comprehensive paradigm developed by Vakil and colleagues, with photographs of faces serving as target and context stimuli, both exposure time and delay were shown to be associated with the occurrence of CEs and appeared to interact with one another in determining the nature of these effects. Unlike several previous studies, false alarms did not increase when foils were presented with familiar contexts. Also unexpectedly, the instruction manipulation did not appear to strengthen target-context binding. It may instead have increased attention to contexts at the expense of targets, as suggested by the finding that direct memory for context improved under associative instruction conditions. Overall, the study demonstrates the importance of understanding and controlling various factors that may potentially influence the emergence of both reinstatement and familiarity-based CEs, among them exposure time and learning-to-test delay.

“…Previous research has shown that environmental sounds that are paired with congruent images during encoding increased memory for objects within the environment (Davis et al, 1999). Using other cues (such as smell and music), Parker and Gellatly (1997) found that participants who were given the combination of cues showed better memory performance than those who were given the cues in isolation. The combination yielded the largest advantage when longer intervals were allowed between study and test (e.g., 24-48 hr).…”

ABSTRACT:The goal of this study was to design a human-computer interface that would increase the memorability of information presented by providing context as compared with memory with no context. Our focus was in augmenting context-dependent memory because it is a powerful and often unexploited characteristic of human cognition. To amplify this cognitive strength, we built the InfoCockpit, which included a large screen containing projected images of places, a three-dimensional surround-sound system that played ambient noises congruent with the projected images, and a flat-panel monitor that served as the focal display for the presentation of the to-be-remembered information. Participants in our study learned and recalled information in either the InfoCockpit or a standard desktop environment. The InfoCockpit group demonstrated a 131% memory advantage. Contextual factors that were previously found to be effective in isolation created a large effect when presented in combination.CONTEXT-DEPENDENT MEMORY REFERS TO THE FINDING THAT PEOPLE ARE OFTEN BETTER AT remembering information if they return to the place where it was encountered or if they imagine themselves to be in that place. To experience this phenomenon, try to remember what you had for lunch on Wednesday of last week. An effective retrieval strategy is first to recall what you were doing last Wednesday and where you were when you had lunch.Research on context-dependent memory finds consistent advantages for reinstating context
