Increase in processing fluency refers to an easier and quicker process of perceiving and recognizing a stimulus that has been encountered before. This effect is also known as priming and is a well-established phenomenon in memory research. Context-dependent memory (A) refers to the idea that memory retrieval is better when the internal or external context at retrieval matches the context at encoding.
