Abstract
We attempted to replicate the famous Godden and Baddeley (1975) "on land and on sea" study by manipulating virtual environments with virtual reality goggles. Our data failed to replicate the original Godden and Baddeley results but are consistent with Murre (2021). Reasons for this replication failure are disclosed.
