- 1What is retrieval failure?Where information available in long term memory cannot be recalled because of the absence of appropriate cues.
- 2What is a context dependent cue?External cues in the environment, such as location or smell.

- 4How did Baddeley (1975) test retrieval failure?Deep-sea divers memorized a list of words. One group did this on the beach and another group underwater. When the beach learners were asked to recall the words, half did so on the beach and the other went underwater. Half of the underwater group stayed underwater and half went on the beach. Results show that those who recalled in the same environment had recalled 40% more words than those recalling in a different environment. This suggests the retrieval of information is improved if it occurs in the context in which it was learned.
