Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State-dependent learning refers to the phenomenon where the ability to retrieve information is enhanced if the individual is in the same state of consciousness or physical condition during both the encoding (learning) phase and the retrieval phase. This means that if you learn something while in a particular mood or physical state, you are more likely to remember it when you are again in that same state.
