Context & Memory:

Currently I am reading the book "Why we remember" from Charan Ranganath. A short review will follow.

Context:

"That sense of being in a particular time and place is called context. ... A great deal of everyday forgetting happens not because our memories have disappeared but because we can't find our way back to them. In the right context, however, memories that have seemed long gone can suddenly resurface back to the forefront of our recall. Why is it that, in the right context, I can access dormant memories - including words and phrases in an otherwise foreign language - that seem unreachable to me back at home?"
