Evaluation
Yo this article is nuts. Why is it talking about souls and our commonsense existence? Semper fi! (64.9.146.2 (talk) 20:27, 31 October 2011 (UTC))

Needs major work
This topic is covered in practically every psychology 101 book, but the only citation is to "commonsense"?? WTF? Any psychologists (or psych majors) out there that want to clean this mess up? 68.32.50.137 (talk) 17:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC)reallypablo
Removed stub class
I removed the stub class because this certainly is not a stub anymore. Someone from the Psych Project who is qualified can reevaluate it. Mvblair (talk) 17:14, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
PAIN The pain subsection had referred to an article saying that "Participants who first learned the list of words while their hands were immersed in warm water, thus posing no threat of induced pain, recalled the words most effectively when they were in a similar warm water condition than the ice water condition." However, (1) this is more of an example of context dependent memory than state dependent memory and (2) This is not what the results provided in the initial research suggested. Instead, I have now read the original research and would change it to be more accurate and less misleading for readers: "Subjects who underwent the pain of submerging their hand in ice water subsequently to memorizing the list demonstrated better recall of the words related to pain than their warm water counterparts (though it is worth mentioning that the warm-water group remembered more words from the list overall)."

DEFINING PARAGRAPH The original defining paragraph incorporated both a lot of confusing language, as well as conflicting information. There was a clarification between state dependent memory and context dependent memory, but then the example for state dependent memory was actually an example for context dependent memory. I would rewrite this paragraph and eliminate the contradictions so as to be clearer and more accessible to readers. Secondly, I would hyperlink the keyvocab like encoding and recall because understanding what those terms mean is crucial to the readers understanding of what state dependent memory is.

MOOD SUBSECTION
I think this paragraph is in need of a lot of work. I attempted to tackle some parts of it, but I also think someone with a little more knowledge on it is imperative to whip this paragraph into shape. One thing I find troubling is the sloppiness of verbiage and sourcing in the final paragraph that discusses multiple personality disorder. I tried to read the original document but couldn't navigate to it from the reference given. Instead, I will just clean it up with as much knowledge as I have. Also, I think the wording was misleading in the sense it made it sound like MPD is caused greatly by state dependent memory (mood, specifically) and I think that is too blanketing of a claim.

Review of Angelina's Edits
Angelina— your edit to the pain section was great! I'm glad that you reread the research and were able to correct an error about what it was communicating; I think your paragraph makes a lot more sense now and is true to the actual study. Acfly17 (talk) 22:42, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
