In general, we can conclude that

Suppose you were studying while listening to pop music at a low volume on the radio. Consistent with state-dependent learning, your testing of that study material would probably be best if

pop music at a low volume was played

3. Treatment of PTSD has benefitted from recent research on:

reconsolidation

According to memory research, studying is most effective if study sessions are:

short and across several days
