Research Abstract |
The present study investigated whether and how various environmental information, such as place, background color of a computer screen, background music, and odor, influences free recall. Furthermore, the present study investigated and compared the effects of simple and complex environmental information. The present study empirically found that (1) the functions of complex place context, manipulated by the combination of place, experimenter, and subsidiary task, and of the simple-place context are different; and (2) there is functional difference between global contexts, such as place, background-context, and odor contexts, and local contexts, such as background context. Furthermore, we invented a new methodology investigating odor-dependent memory, which has enhanced the systematization of research on odor context-dependent memory.
