The primary purpose of the research was to investigate whether the distraction condition affected learning and memory. According to the theory of context dependant memory (Tulving, 1983) and music dependant memory (Smith, 1985; Balch, et al., 1992), we hypothesized that participants who listened to their randomly assigned music type at both encoding and retrieval would have higher recall scores than participants who were randomly assigned to only hear the music at encoding.
