Tulving's Encoding Specificity Hypothesis provides an explanation for the state-dependent memory effects that researchers have observed. The concept relates well to what you have already learned about the three processes of memory and its organization. If you are trying to remember a fact that you have learned, which of the following statements accurately describes what is happening in your memory? 1. It is always easier to remember information when intoxicated because alcohol make it easier for the brain to encode, store, and retrieve information without the interference of schemas. 2. Contextual information (where you are, how you feel) becomes encoded as part of the schema you have about the fact. During recall, that context can acts as a prime and increase the accessibility of the schema, making it easier to recall. 3. Priming the fact increases the subconscious motivation to get back into the context you were in when you learned it. 4. It is always harder to remember information when intoxicated because alcohol interferes with encoding and recall. 5. It is always harder to remember information when intoxicated because alcohol forces the brain to separate contextual information from the schema that you have about that fact.
