Godden and Baddeley (1980) found that context-dependent memory effects did not significantly affect recognition tests. Their study showed that participants who learned information in one environment and were tested in a different environment performed about as well on recognition tests as those who learned and were tested in the same environment. This suggests that recognition memory is less sensitive to changes in physical context compared to other types of memory tests, such as free recall.
