There are various situations in which groups (e.g., covert security operatives) work together to gatherintelligence (e.g., to inform terrorist investigations). To date, there is a lack of evidence regarding themost effective way to enhance group memory and obtain accurate information from teams operatingtogether. The objective of the proposed research will be to utilise collaborative recall and implement astrategy called 'individuation', whereby group members are each assigned a distinct role that helps thegroup's overall performance. Individuation has been shown to be effective in various social contexts(e.g., reducing anti-social behaviour). The research will be divided into three studies, consisting of fourlaboratory-based experiments and one qualitative study, involving groups of three participantsundertaking an intelligence-gathering mission (e.g., mock terrorist attack). The first two experiments(Study 1) will explore whether the individuation strategy enhances the group's ability to rememberinformation and whether collaborative recall improves quantity and accuracy of information gathering.The final two experiments (Study 2) will examine the effectiveness of the individuation strategy as a liedetection tool. Finally, the qualitative study (Study 3) will explore perceptions held by law enforcementpersonnel regarding the use of the individuation strategy for collaborative recall in real-worldintelligence-gathering settings. Overall, the research aims to identify whether the pre-allocation of rolesand collective memory enhances the quantity and accuracy of information remembered by a group as awhole and improves lie detection abilities. Implications for crime prevention, covert teams, intelligencegathering,and security operations will be explored.

在各种情况下，团体（例如秘密安全人员）共同收集情报（例如为恐怖分子调查提供信息）。迄今为止，缺乏证据表明增强群体记忆并从一起运作的团队中获取准确信息的最有效方法。拟议研究的目标是利用协作回忆并实施称为“个性化”的策略，即为每个小组成员分配一个独特的角色，以帮助小组的整体表现。个性化已被证明在各种社会背景下都是有效的（例如，减少反社会行为）。该研究将分为三项研究，包括四项基于实验室的实验和一项定性研究，涉及三名参与者组成的小组，执行情报收集任务（例如模拟恐怖袭击）。前两个实验（研究 1）将探讨个性化策略是否增强了群体记忆信息的能力，以及协作回忆是否提高了信息收集的数量和准确性。最后两个实验（研究 2）将检验个性化策略作为测谎工具的有效性。最后，定性研究（研究 3）将探讨执法人员对于在现实世界情报收集环境中使用个性化策略进行协作回忆的看法。总体而言，该研究旨在确定角色和集体记忆的预先分配是否可以提高群体整体记住信息的数量和准确性，并提高测谎能力。将探讨对犯罪预防、秘密小组、情报收集和安全行动的影响。
