Question

Felicia, Ted, Juan, and Sarah are working together to recall the items they are to bring to school for a class project. Alicia is individually trying to remember the items she needs to bring to school for the same project, without any help from others. Are the collaborators Felicia, Ted, Juan, and Sarah or the individual Alicia likely to recall more items?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The group of individuals will recall more items correctly versus an individual as collaboration benefits memory.

Research on collaborative memory states that people tend to remember more things when they gather information together in their memories rather than an individual who tries to remember same things.

In the context, Felicia Juan, Ted and Sarah are a group of four students who tries to remember certain things that they need to bring to college for the project. While Alicia tries to recall the things individually. But it is seen that Alicia remembers less when compared to the group who tries to remember collaboratively.
