Does anybody know what godden and badelleys psychology experiment was about?
the experiment was mainly focused with situated learning. At one level, there is nothing new in this claim about the contextualization of learning. There have been numerous demonstrations in experimental psychology that learning can be contextualized. For instance, Godden and Baddeley found that divers had difficulty remembering under water what they learned on land or vice versa. However, it is not the case that learning is wholly tied to a specific context. For instance, Godden and Baddeley’s divers could remember some of what they learned in the other context. In fact, there are many demonstrations of learning that transfer across contexts and of failures to find any context specificity in the learning a fact that has often frustrated researchers who were looking for context sensitivity.
