Godden and Baddeley conducted a memory experiment using two groups of scuba divers. One group listened to a list of words while sitting on a beach. The other group listened to the same list of words while 10 feet underwater. What did the researchers discover about context and learning?

A. Participants who listened to the words on the beach did best, regardless of where they were asked to recall them.
B. Participants who listened to the words underwater did best, regardless of where they were asked to recall them.
C. There was no difference between the two groups.
D.The greatest recall for the words happened when learning and testing were in the same context (e.g., learn underwater, get tested underwater).

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this study the researchers discovered that the greatest recall for the words happened when learning and testing were in the same context. Meaning that if they learn underwater then they should get tested underwater. Researchers believe that this is due to the fact that the body and mind adapts to it's surroundings and switching surroundings would create a distraction.
