The mood-dependent retrieval hypothesis states that mood will enhance recall by acting as a recall cue if the stimuli have been learned initially in the same mood.

Freeman, John – Administrative Science Quarterly, 1986
This editorial recommends that social science researchers of organizations develop a database from a sample of organizations in the United States.

Smith, Lydia A. H. – Issues in Education, 1986
This rebuttal of Pickles's article points to stylistic and substantive flaws.
