人们经常在他人的陪伴下形成和检索记忆。然而，近125年来关于学习和记忆的认知研究主要集中在孤立工作的个人身上。虽然目击者记忆和自传体记忆等重要主题已经评估了社会影响，但对群体记忆的研究主要在历史学、人类学、社会学和社会心理学领域内进行。在这种背景下，最近对协作记忆的认知基础的研究激增，标志着一个重要的概念出发。作为第一个目标，我们回顾了这些经验和理论上的进展，合作记忆的性质和影响。合作的效果是违反直觉的，因为个体在群体中回忆时记得较少。合作也会导致遗忘和增加记忆错误。相反，在适当的条件下，合作也可以提高记忆力。作为第二个目标，我们提出了一个总体的理论框架，指定的认知机制的成本和利益的合作记忆。研究群体和个体对记忆过程的相互影响，自然要用到几个学科。我们的目标是阐明这一复杂现象的认知成分，并在更广泛的跨学科视角下进行分析。
People often form and retrieve memories in the company of others. Yet, nearly 125 years of cognitive research on learning and memory has mainly focused on individuals working in isolation. Although important topics such as eyewitness memory and autobiographical memory have evaluated social influences, a study of group memory has progressed mainly within the provinces of history, anthropology, sociology, and social psychology. In this context, the recent surge in research on the cognitive basis of collaborative memory marks an important conceptual departure. As a first aim, we review these empirical and theoretical advances on the nature and influence of collaborative memory. Effects of collaboration are counterintuitive because individuals remember less when recalling in groups. Collaboration can also lead to forgetting and increase memory errors. Conversely, collaboration can also improve memory under proper conditions. As a second aim, we propose an overarching theoretical framework that specifies the cognitive mechanisms associated with the costs and benefits of collaboration on memory. A study of the reciprocal influences of the group and the individual on memory processes naturally draws upon several disciplines. Our aim is to elucidate the cognitive components of this complex phenomenon and situate this analysis within a broader interdisciplinary perspective.
