When individuals recall information together in a group, they are exposed to items recalled by others that they may not recall themselves. researchers (blumen & rajaram, 2008) have found that this exposure improves their memory when they are retested at a later time. this type of collaborative memory is called memory?

The answer is aided memory, which is a type of collaborative memory. In addition, to observe how collaboration affects memory, the contrast is made among the recall of interacting or collaborative, groups with the recall of nominal groups of equal size. The nominal groups are groups in designation only where the individual recall of participants is combined together in a non-redundant style with overlying items tallied only once.
