Objective: This research examines the role of memory test (recall & recognition) and context of the content on everyday students' memory performance.
Method: Using random clustered sampling 128 students in boukan payame noor university, in law, computer, consulting and education subjects, were divided to 4 groups, completely randomly sampling. There is no significant difference in Wechsler's clinical memory test. Everyday memory was examined using educational content about quantum physics. 4 groups of questions were extracted using table of specification. A 2×2 factor design (two recall & recognition and two internal & external context of the content.
Results: ANOVA results showed significance interaction between test type and context on the everyday memory performance(P<0.05& f=4.226) and no significance effect of test type and context factors. In other words internal conceptual context of the content leads to a better function of everyday memory.
Conclusion: Research conclusion emphasized the internal conceptual context of content in recognition tests and external context of the content in recall tests, in order to more students' achievement.
