State-Dependent Learning
State-Dependent Learning is a psychological concept that suggests the ability to recall information is influenced by the emotional or physical state of an individual at the time of learning. If a person learns something while feeling a certain emotion or under specific conditions, they are more likely to remember that information when they are in the same state again.
This phenomenon can be observed in various contexts, such as when studying for an exam. For example, if a student learns material while feeling relaxed, they may perform better on the test if they are in a similar relaxed state. This principle highlights the connection between memory, emotion, and learning.
