Imagine that you have studied for an exam in a quiet environment and your physiological arousal has been low while you were studying. If on the day of the exam, you were given the test in a quiet environment and your physiological arousal remained low, the concept of state-dependent memory would predict that your recall would be ________________ and the concept of context-dependent memory would predict that your recall would _________________.
A)worse; also be worse
B)better; be worse
C)worse; be better
D)better; also be better

State-dependent memory suggests that memory recall is better when the physiological state at the time of encoding matches the state at retrieval. Context-dependent memory suggests that recall is better when the environmental context at encoding matches the context at retrieval. Since both the physiological state (low arousal) and the environmental context (quiet environment) match between study and test conditions, both concepts predict better recall.
