The state of mind is like an additional memory cue. Information is remembered better when the person is in the same mental, emotional, or drug-induced state as when it was learned. Each state of mind a person may experience has a unique network of stimuli which may be involved in the encoding stage. If this is so, returning to that state of mind will add as an additional retrieval cue in re-obtaining the memory.(Benjamin, Hopkins, & Nation, 1994. p.270-71) (Horton & Mills, 1984; Lowe, 1987).
