                                  1. Words learnt + recalled in same context were recalled best
                                    1. Mean recall was around 50% higher when it took place in the same environment as learning
                                      1. For example
                                        1. Water + Water= 32%
                                          1. Water + Land= 24%
                                        2. CONCLUSION
                                          1. Results demonstrate how the environment can act as a context cue
                                            1. Helps aid recall
                                              1. Prevents forgetting
