Detailed explanation-1: -A change in environmental context between study and test can produce detrimental effects on memory. For instance, when a change in the environment occurs after an event, memory for the event declines. However, the negative effects of context change can be eliminated when participants are provided with contextual cues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Infants demonstrate memory for experiences they had during the pregnancy (before birth). Improvement in infant memory probably indicates a. enhanced encoding of information.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, environmental factors affect cognitive development by providing stimuli that influence the organs responsible for our cognition (e.g., brain, nervous system, senses). For example, excessive alcohol consumption has been associated with smaller left hippocampal volume and poorer memory.
