Encoding Specificity Team: Be sure to include "meaning" another condition that can match or mismatch. For example, if I encode the word "bug" thinking of an insect I may not retrieve it later when prompted with spy-B__ since the meaning is different.

Encoding Specificity Team: Please reconsider the following text, because classrooms are so similar that you normally don't get an effect. Similarly, the data on intoxication was about errors, not correct responses.
"Consider the debate on whether taking an exam in the same classroom in which the material for the exam was encoded positively correlates with performance on said exam. The encoding specificity principle suggests that it does. In this example, the context refers to the physical ___location in which the exam takes place. Another example could correspond to the state an individual is in at the time of encoding; studies show that a person who is intoxicated at the time of encoding has a better time retrieving information if later the person is also intoxicated"
