 Context examples 

When we come out of the supermarket and think about where we left the car, for example, we only need to recall where we parked the car today, rather than being distracted by recalling every single time we came to do our shopping.

(Selective amnesia: how rats and humans are able to actively forget distracting memories, University of Cambridge)

The last swimmers have come in from the beach now and are dressing upstairs; the cars from New York are parked five deep in the drive, and already the halls and salons and verandas are gaudy with primary colors and hair shorn in strange new ways and shawls beyond the dreams of Castile.

(The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald)
