Currently, the Wikipedia encoding specificity principle page does not adequately address the intricacies of the topic. We will add many subsections to the page, including basic methods, specific results, and theory, to improve the article's clarity. We will also include references to the Thompson and Tulving experiment, the first investigation to demonstrate the encoding specificity principle; many other successive studies were based off of this experiement. Currently, the Wikipedia page has no citations. We plan on citing several different experiments to further explain the principle. Examples of how the encoding specificity principle applies to every-day life will make it desirable to many audiences. Furthermore, we plan on contextualizing other areas of memory study - including availability and accessibility - to increase the article's detail. From initial research, we have deduced the encoding specificity principle is connected to semantics, an area we plan to expand upon.
