Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collaborative inhibition occurs when retrieval strategies used by one individual in a group disrupt those used by others, leading to poorer recall performance compared to individuals working alone. This is supported by research findings that show that individuals working in a group tend to have reduced access to their own unique knowledge, which leads to interference in the retrieval process.
