This concept is based on the idea of context dependent memory, where the environment or context in which we learn and encode information becomes a cue for retrieval later on. Therefore, taking a test in the same room where the material was learned can provide the appropriate context cues that aid in memory retrieval. Cued recall and explicit memory recall also involve retrieval cues, but they do not specifically address the influence of context on memory retrieval. Free recall refers to the ability to retrieve information without specific cues.
