The finding of Godden and Baddeley (1975) suggests that the context in which information is learned influences its retrieval. This phenomenon is known as encoding specificity, which refers to the idea that the cues present at the time of learning serve as retrieval cues at the time of retrieval. In this case, studying on land or underwater creates a specific context that becomes associated with the learned information, making it more accessible when the same context is present during testing. Therefore, choice C, encoding specificity, is the best option. The other options, memorability, registered learning, and accessible decoding, do not accurately describe the phenomenon observed in this study.
