Do people better remember what they learned if they are in the same physical space where they first
learned it? The authors of the paper "The Dynamics of Memory: Context-Dependent Updating" asked
people to learn a set of 20 unrelated objects. Two days later, these people were asked to recall the objects
learned on the first day. Some of the people were asked to recall the objects in the same room where they
originally learned the objects. The others were asked to recall the objects in a different room. People were
assigned at random to one of these two recall conditions. The authors found that the data on the number of
objects recalled supported the claim that recall is better when people return to the original learning context.
