Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In typical collaborative memory experiments, the combined performance of individuals in a nominal group (a group where members work individually) often surpasses the collective performance of a collaborative group (a group where members work together) on recall tests. This phenomenon is attributed to collaborative inhibition, where group dynamics can inhibit the memory performance of the group compared to the potential combined performance of its members working separately.
