The encoding-specificity principle suggests that

a. we recall something better if we are in the same context in which we originally learned the material.
b. we recall something better if we are in a context that is moderately different from the original learning contextnot too similar, and not too different.
c. recall depends upon how specific the instructions are; vague instructions lead to poor recall.
d. it is more effective to encode material during learning than to decode the material during recall.

Question 2

What can we conclude about the encoding-specificity principle?

a. Context effects are very clear-cut, especially in laboratory research.
b. Current research suggests no evidence for the encoding-specificity principle.
c. Context effects are often demonstrated in our daily experiences, but the effect is relatively weak in laboratory research.
d. Context effects are especially prominent when the material has been well learned.
