What if we could fully separate memories from one part of our life from another part of our life?
Context-dependent memory means one can more easily recall things from the same physical context they were created.Completely severing one set of conscious memories from another is likely not possible due to scientific and ethical limitations.poses an interesting question: In the show, characters who undergo the severance procedure effectively disconnect their work life from their home life.
Context-dependent memory was most famously demonstrated by two British psychologists, David Godden and Alan Baddeley. In 1975,asked scuba divers to learn lists of words on land and underwater and then tested them on their memory for the words both on land and underwater. They found that words that were studied on land were remembered better on land and vice versa. In other words, memory was best when the context stayed the same between learning and remembering.
The scuba diver experiment is a classic that any college student who has taken a psychology course on memory is sure to encounter, but context-dependent memory effects are not always so robust. Recently, Yeon Soon Shin and colleagues from Ken Norman’s lab at Princeton University identified someShin’s participants engaged with two immersive virtual reality environments, one that was underwater and one that was on Mars.
Why is this? One possibility is that elements of your environment get tied to the memories that you form, and these same elements can later function as retrieval cues that help bring a memory back to mind. Your dying office plant may remind you of the report you need to finish because you were looking at the plant when you first learned about the report.
