A researcher conducts an experiment to test memory. Participants are brought into a quiet, soundproof laboratory and asked to memorize a list of 30 random, three-letter nonsense syllables (e.g., 'QAS', 'VUK'). The researcher concludes that individuals who recall more syllables have a better memory. What is a significant limitation when trying to apply these findings to understand memory in everyday situations?
