what did Abernethy do?
found that pps recalled materials less well when tested by an unfamiliar teacher in an unfamiliar room compared to pps tested by a familiar teacher in a familiar room
what did Godden and Baddeley do?
they got divers to learn info either on land or submerged in water
what were Godden and Baddeley's result?
recall was worse when it occured in a different context to the learning (coding)
eg words learned under water were recalled better when under water than on dry land
