LDR Circuit Diagram: Here is the schematic for the circuit: Light Dependent Resistors Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) are also called photoresistors. They are made of high resistance semiconductor material. When light hits the device‚ the photons give electrons energy. This makes them jump into the conductive band and thereby conduct electricity. A photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR) or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases

Considering the support for both context-dependant memory and state-dependant memory‚ it is reasonable to theorize that there should be an effect of music-dependent memory as well. Music-dependant memory then‚ is an extension of both context-dependant memory and state-dependant memory that assumes that it is easier for an individual to recall information while listening to the same music that was playing when the individual encoded the information. This is especially potent when you consider the
