β¦ Synopsis
The present study compared the ability of novice divers to apply decompression tables having learnt how to use them in either the same or a different environment. Those subjects who had learnt how to use the tables in a different environment (i.e. had learnt on dry land and were tested underwater or vice-versa) performed on average 64 per cent worse than those who had the same environment for both learning and test. This effect could not be ascribed to the disruption brought about by changing environments. The results show that contextual effects on memory extend beyond the recall of word lists to the ability to implement potentially important instructions.
