Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is due to encoding specificity, which suggests that recall is most effective when the context at the time of encoding matches the context at the time of retrieval. In this case, "fall" was encoded in the context of seasons, not injuries, making it harder to recall as a way to get injured later.
