Context

If someone is told something in a classroom, they would be more likely to remember it in the same classroom than anywhere else. This is because they are in the same context. Being in the same context (environment) could effect the way that you remember something. When the information is taken in, everything else is taken in also, such as the smell of the environment, what else you can hear and see and everything around the environment, these things are taken in and associated with the information which has been taken in so when asked to recall the information it would be easier to remember and recall if the context is the same.
