Line 16:
Then this sentence should be omitted and another example should be given:
"The principle explains why a subject is able to recall a target word as part of an unrelated word pair at retrieval with much more accuracy when prompted with the unrelated word than if presented with a semantically related word that was not available during encoding." <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:RomainDecrop|RomainDecrop]] ([[User talk:RomainDecrop|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/RomainDecrop|contribs]]) 20:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:The existing introductory paragraph is unnecessarily confusing. I agree with the above clarification, but suggest the following:
Memory researchers Thomson and Tulving suggest that recall from memory is most effective when the context at the time of encoding matches the context at the time of retrieval. This "context" can refer to physical ___location or surrounding, as well as mental state or mood of the individual. The context during (storage) determines what retrieval cues will be effective during retrieval. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Endel|first1=Tulving|title=The Blackwell Dictionary of Cognitive Psychology|date=1990|publisher=Basil Blackwell, Inc.|isbn=o631rj68r8|pages=135-137|accessdate=03/09/2016}}</ref>
I think that in the first sentence, instead of saying "context" right away we should use "conditions", because both context-dependent memory and state-dependent memory stem from this principle. Using context right away in the first sentence takes away from our ability to introduce the two later on.

I agree with the above correction for the second sentence, but think there should still be a mention of weak vs. strong cues.

I also agree that there should be mention of weak and strong cues and kept them in there [[User:Stephanie Parrado|Stephanie Parrado]] ([[User talk:Stephanie Parrado|talk]]) 19:45, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
I think also having "mental state or mood" is a good addition to the paragraph. [[User:Adaaka|Adaaka]] ([[User talk:Adaaka|talk]]) 14:54, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
