“…A few studies have reported that the mere presence of a confederate -without communication of misinformation or even memory of social interaction -is capable of simultaneously enhancing and distorting memories (Reysen, 2007;Straube et al, 2011;Wagner et al, 2022). In addition, a body of literature has emerged showing that collaboration at retrieval has both negative and positive effects on true and false memory (Abel & Bäuml, 2020;Rajaram, 2011;Rajaram et al, 2020;Rajaram & Pereira-Pasarin, 2010;Weldon & Bellinger, 1997).…”

Recent research has revealed that individuals’ true and false recognition is susceptible to social influence arising from competition. Although cooperation and competition represent two fundamental, opposing forms of social interaction, no work to date has examined how memory processes may be distorted by social influence arising from cooperation and whether these two interactive modes may exert similar or differential influences. To address these issues, participants randomly assigned to a competition, cooperation, or control group performed a pictorial variant of the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm. We found that both the cooperation and competition groups showed significant false recognition reduction compared to the control group, while only the competition group showed true recognition reduction relative to the control group. Our signal-detection analysis further revealed that false recognition suppression driven by cooperation and competition is due to a combination of both a reduction in encoded memory information for critical lures and an increase in memory monitoring as evidenced by decreased sensitivity (d') and elevated response bias (C); competition-driven true recognition reduction, however, is due to enhanced monitoring as indexed by increased C. These results provide compelling evidence that cooperation and competition suppress participants’ false recognition by impairing relational encoding and by enhancing retrieval-based monitoring, while competition reduces participants’ true recognition by increasing retrieval-based monitoring. Collectively, these findings lay the foundation for deepening our understanding of how memory is susceptible to social influence arising from interactive contexts.

Collaboration has an essential role in memory, and how to appropriately use it to affect individual memory positively is a matter of concern. The meta‐analysis generally assessed the effect of collaboration on subsequent individual retrieval, registered on the PROSPERO platform and adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, using the Web of Science, Science Direct, CNKI and WanFang databases with post‐collaborative memory as the main subject, screened studies published up to December 31, 2023, a total of 64 studies with 101 effect sizes, including 13,398 participants from 11 countries. Heterogeneity test, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis and meta‐regression analysis were performed on the included studies, while publication bias was assessed. The results found that collaboration improves subsequent individual retrieval memory more than individuals, and collaboration has a moderate facilitating effect on subsequent individual retrieval. Group size, material category, category size, collaboration phase, collaboration approach, task process and test method were among the moderating variables. The study emphasizes the role of collaboration in cognition and demonstrates the post‐collaborative benefits. The conclusions are of value for developing methods to improve individual memory.
