Godden and Baddeley (1975) demonstrated this phenomenon vividly when they had scuba divers memorize lists of words either under water or on land, and later tested them for recall of these words both on land and under water

Godden and Baddeley's study demonstrated context-dependent memory, as the ability to recall information was influenced by the environment in which it was learned and later tested. The scuba divers who learned words underwater were better able to recall them when tested underwater, whereas those who learned on land were better able to recall them on land. This suggests that the context in which information is learned can serve as a cue for later retrieval.
