“…In friends, we found no overall post-collaborative benefits. These findings add to prior research suggesting that collaboration can-at least under some circumstances-benefit subsequent individual recall because of the reexposure that occurs during collaborative recall (Basden et al, 2000;Blumen & Rajaram, 2008). Our findings suggest that pre-collaborative factors are an important determinant of these ongoing collaborative benefits.…”

“…In cognitive psychology, the dominant experimental paradigm used to assess the costs and benefits of remembering with others is collaborative recall (Basden, Basden, Bryner, & Thomas, 1997;Basden, Basden, & Henry, 2000;Rajaram, 2011;Rajaram & Pereira-Pasarin, 2010;Weldon & Bellinger, 1997). This paradigm can be used to test the influence of remembering with others both during the collaboration itself and on subsequent individual recall.…”

We often remember in the company of others. In particular, we routinely collaborate with friends, family, or colleagues to remember shared experiences. But surprisingly, in the experimental collaborative recall paradigm, collaborative groups remember less than their potential, an effect termed collaborative inhibition. Rajaram and Pereira-Pasarin (2010) argued that the effects of collaboration on recall are determined by "pre-collaborative" factors. We studied the role of 2 pre-collaborative factors-shared encoding and group relationship-in determining the costs and benefits of collaborative recall. In Experiment 1, we compared groups of strangers who encoded alone versus together, before collaborating to recall. In Experiment 2, we compared groups of friends who encoded alone versus together, before collaborating to recall. We found that shared encoding abolished collaborative inhibition in both Experiments 1 and 2. But prior relationship did not influence collaborative inhibition over and above the effects of shared encoding. Regardless of encoding condition, collaborative group recall contained fewer intrusions than nominal group recall, and these benefits continued in subsequent individual recall. Our findings demonstrate that pre-collaborative factors-specifically shared encoding-have flow-on benefits for group and individual recall amount, but not recall accuracy. We discuss these findings in terms of self-and cross-cuing in collaborative recall.

“…The effects of collaboration on recall can be conceptualised in terms of costs and benefits (Basden, Basden, & Henry, 2000). Typically, collaborative groups recall more than individuals alone, but less than nominal groups.…”

“…However on subsequent individual recall, those who previously recalled in a group are more likely to remember additional items than those who recalled individually, but only those items that were introduced by another group member. People who recall in groups are less likely to recall items that did not appear in the group recall (Basden et al, 2000). The focus of these comparisons is on the amount of information recalled.…”

In this paper, we aim to show that the framework of embedded, distributed, or extended cognition offers new perspectives on social cognition by applying it to one specific domain: the psychology of memory. In making our case, first we specify some key social dimensions of cognitive distribution and some basic distinctions between memory cases, and then describe stronger and weaker versions of distributed remembering in the general distributed cognition framework. Next, we examine studies of social influences on memory in cognitive psychology, and identify the valuable concepts and methods to be extended and embedded in our framework; we focus in particular on three related paradigms: transactive memory, collaborative recall, and social contagion. Finally, we sketch our own early studies of individual and group memory developed within our framework of distributed cognition, on social contagion of autobiographical memories, collaborative flashbulb memories, and memories of high school at a high school reunion. We see two reciprocal benefits of this conceptual and empirical framework to social memory phenomena: that ideas about distributed cognition can be honed against and tested with the help of sophisticated methods in the social-cognitive psychology of memory; and conversely, that a range of social memory phenomena that are as yet poorly understood can be approached afresh with theoretically motivated extensions of existing empirical paradigms.

Collaborative Memory with Assistants 2 AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate collaborative memory in adolescents with intellectual disabilities when collaborating with an assistant, and also the extent to which decisiveness is related to individual memory performance.Nineteen students with intellectual disabilities (mean age = 18.5, SD = 0.9) each collaborated with a teaching assistant (mean age 40.3, SD = 12.1) familiar from everyday work in school. Pictures were presented individually. Recognition was performed in two parts; first individually and thereafter collaboratively. The design involved 2 settings, one natural (with equal encoding time) and one with equal individual memory performance (assistants had shorter encoding time than the students). Results showed collaborative inhibition in this previously uninvestigated collaboration setting with adolescents with intellectual disabilities and their assistants.The assistants both performed higher and decided more than the students with intellectual disabilities in the natural setting, but not in the equated performance setting. Inhibition was larger in the equated setting. The assistants' decisiveness was moderately correlated with individual memory performance. Implications for everyday life are discussed.
