In addition, we will examine whether lack of perceptual cues in the environment affects recall. Therefore, this study intends to look at the importance of contextual cues in memory recall and aims to further examine the findings of Godden and Baddeley by asking a group of 75 adult participants to memorise a group of random words in one of three

• Condition 1 is where the participant learns the words in the same location as they will recall them. • Condition 2 is where the participant learns the words and then is asked to recall them in a different location. • Condition 3 is where the participant learns the words in the same location as they will recall them (as in Condition 1), however, they will have their eyes closed for the recall part in order to investigate whether lack of perceptual cues affects recall.
The results can then be analysed and compared in line with Godden and Baddeley’s …show more content…
In Condition 2, 25 participants will learn a group of 30 unrelated non-associative words in one environment (same as condition 1) for 2 minutes and then recall them for 2 minutes in a different environment, which will be outside. There will be a delay of 2 minute between learning and recall.
4. In Condition 3, 25 participants will learn a group of words in one environment and recall them in the same environment (as in condition 1) but with their eyes closed. There will be a delay of 2 minutes between learning and recall.
5. The reasons for carrying out the experiment will be explained to the participants but not the experimental hypothesis.
6. Each participant will be debriefed at the end of the experiment & given the opportunity to ask any questions.
7. If the participants do not wish to continue with the experiment or wish to withdraw their consent, they will be permitted to do so.
8. Participants will be given a number in order to protect their anonymity.
9. The amount of words recalled correctly will be recorded in each
