Question

when jordan felt anxious before a big job interview, he suddenly remembered other times in his life when he had felt nervous or stressed, such as taking exams or giving class presentations. his tendency to recall memories that match his current emotional state is best explained by
context - dependent memory.
state - dependent memory.
depth of processing.
flashbulb memories.

Explanation:

State - dependent memory refers to the phenomenon where memory retrieval is more effective when the individual is in the same physiological or emotional state as when the memory was encoded. In this case, Jordan is anxious (emotional state) before the job interview and recalls other memories (taking exams, giving presentations) when he was in a similar emotional state (nervous/stressed). Context - dependent memory is about the external context (e.g., physical environment) aiding memory retrieval. Depth of processing is about how deeply information is encoded (e.g., semantic vs. shallow processing). Flashbulb memories are vivid, detailed memories of significant events.

Answer:

state - dependent memory.
