Cross-cueing refers to the process in which one person's memory is jogged by a memory cue provided by another person. This is exactly what happens in the scenario described in the question. Angela's memory cue (the correct name of the theorist) helps to jog Ben's memory so that he can recall the theorist's name. Groupthink, transactive memory, collective induction, and collective deduction do not apply to this scenario.
