Environmental context is thought to influence recognition memory in relatively few cases, and it is an empirical matter to determine the conditions under which a positive effect occurs. Amateur divers learnt visually presented word lists in two environments: in air on a small boat and underwater at a depth of 20 m. Recognition memory was examined by a yes-no procedure in either the environment of learning or the alternative environment. Environmental context produced small but statistically reliable effects on recognition memory. Words learnt underwater were best recalled there and vice versa.
