Unleveled psychology memory project

The other day, Juliana and Alden went on an adventure around Duxbury High School to unlock the secrets of the “context dependent memory”. A context dependent memory is when someone remembers the details of memory when exposed to something that relates to that memory. This could include seeing a photograph of the memory, hearing the sounds similar to those in the memory, or visiting the place where the memory was made. For Juliana and Alden, this included a trip to the space between the gym and the locker room, as well as the high school visitor parking lot, which helped them remember specific details about getting trapped and blaring the horn.
