Let's start off with an example. When an alcoholic joins AA, one of the first things they do, is a loved one will go to their house and give them a drink, followed by a search for 'stashes' of alcohol. The reason for this is that say, the person was drunk and hid a few bottles around his house. He wouldn't even know where he hid them when he's sober. But! When given a couple drinks, his counscious reverts to his prior state when he hid them.

State-dependent memory refers to memories that exist only in certain conscious states of our mind.

While this is a bad example of state dependent memory, I like to use it to help remind me of its function: Study high, take the test high, get high scores!

Whether the above statement is true or not, there's no evidence proving or disproving it but I'm a stoner and I would not recommend studying, nor taking the test while under the influence. Practice moderation!
