| Research Abstract |
We empirically compared contextual functions of various types of environmental information ; that is place, background music, background color, and odor. As a result, we found that (1) complex-place context functions as an episode-defining context, whereas simple-place context functions as mere environmental information ; that (2) place, background-music, and odor function as global contexts, whereas background color functions as a local context ; and that (3) effect sizes of complex-place context increase as a function of study time, whereas those of background-color and background-music contexts do not change.
