A replication of the experiment by Godden and Baddeley (Godden and Baddeley 1975 , 325-331 (doi:10.1111/j.2044-8295.1975.tb01468.x)) on environmental context-dependent memory is described. Sixteen divers studied auditorily presented word lists on land or underwater and recalled these 4 min later on land or underwater (each diver participated in all four combinations). Contrary to the original study, we did not find that recall in the same context where the words had been learned was better than recall in the other context. We discuss differences between our replication and the original study and emphasize the importance of attempts at replicating classic studies.

Background: Godden and Baddeley ( 1975 ) suggested strong contextual influence on recall, suggesting learning in an educational context might not transfer well to practice.
Aim: To explore the impact of an authentic context (wearing hospital scrubs) on learning and recall.
Methods: 82 first year medical students sat a pre-test on renal gross anatomy and imaging, to establish prior knowledge, wearing their own clothes.

Purpose: Learning-in-context is a much-discussed topic in medical education. Information is said to be better recalled when the learning environment resembles the later retrieval environment. Godden and Baddeley (1975) showed that divers recalled words better when the recall condition matched the original learning environment, i.
