tilstandsspecifikhed
Tilstandsspecifikhed, often translated as state-dependency or state-specificity, refers to the principle that memory retrieval is more effective when the internal state of the learner during retrieval matches the internal state during learning. This internal state can encompass a wide range of factors, including mood, physiological arousal, and even the presence of certain substances.
The concept was first extensively explored in the context of mood-dependent memory. Research demonstrated that individuals
Similarly, state-dependent learning extends to physiological states. If learning occurs under the influence of a particular
The underlying mechanism is believed to involve the establishment of retrieval cues. The internal state during
