Abstract: In two experiments, we examined whether the
size of place-context-dependent recognition decreased with
study time and with the meaningfulness of the to-beremembered
materials. A group of 80 undergraduates intentionally
studied a list of words in a short (1.5 s per item) or a
long (4.0 s per item) study-time condition (Exp. 1). Another
40 undergraduates studied lists consisting of words and
nonwords in the long-study-time condition (Exp. 2). After
a short retention interval, recognition for the targets was
tested in the same or in a different context. Context was
manipulated by means of the combination of place, subsidiary
task, and experimenter. Significant context-dependent
recognition discrimination was found for words in the shortstudy-
time condition (Exp. 1), but not in the long-study-time
condition (Exps. 1 and 2). Significant effects were found as
well for nonwords, even in the long-study-time condition
(Exp. 2). These results are explained well by an outshining
account: that is, by principles of outshining and encoding
specificity.

日本語によるコメント 場所を操作した環境的文脈依存効果は，再生ではかなり
明確に見いだされていますが，再認では非常に不明確でした。本研究は，学習項
目の有意味性と学習時間に着目し，不明確な場所文脈依存再認を，実証的に整理
することに成功しました。また，場所文脈依存再認は，エピソード想起説（符号
化特殊性原理＋アウトシャイン原理）を用いて説明できることを実証しました。
最近，視覚文脈依存再認において有力なICE理論（熟知性での説明）では説明不
能でした。
