Which of the following best describes the main task participants performed in Grant et al.'s study?

  1. Listening to a lecture

  2. Reading and highlighting a scientific article

  3. Watching a video presentation

  4. Participating in a group discussion

The correct answer is: Reading and highlighting a scientific article

In Grant et al.'s study, participants were tasked with reading and highlighting a scientific article, which is a fundamental aspect of the research examining context-dependent memory. The study aimed to investigate how the environment in which individuals learn can influence their ability to recall information. By having participants read and highlight an article, the researchers established a controlled setting for learning. Participants' subsequent recall of information was then tested under different conditions, either in the same environment in which they read the article or in a different one, highlighting the importance of context in memory retrieval. This choice is central to understanding the overall design and findings of the study, which focused on memory processes and the impact of environmental factors.
