Cici and Sara section 2

Unleveled psychology memory project

When Cici and I visited the Duxbury Student Union, we first saw the whole building and were suddenly remembered of the days back in middle school when we were allowed to hang out with friends and listen to music at the student union for lunch, the dances that were held there and all the memories we retrieved from those wonderful days. This is an example of the context dependent memory because we remembered the memory that came back after looking and being at the student union. Context dependent memory are memories that come back after being prompted by something. Another example of this memory is the state dependent memory, because at the time we were happy and we remembered having fun at the dances from middle school. We walked up to the front of the building where we then retrieved from the dances that the inside got super hot, so we were allowed to walk outside and get some air.
