- The established empirical work on the effects of collaboration on memory (showing depressed memory, the ‘collaborative inhibition effect’) is limited to ‘episodic’ memory (memory for particular time-and-place-indexed events) whereas most practical memory-based collaboration tasks utilise ‘semantic’ memory (memory for facts). This article is the first to show collaborative inhibition for semantic memory, allowing new analyses of how computer-mediated collaboration can be designed to avoid inhibition effects and enhance performance. The work has been cited in a recent scoping review of computer-mediated communication in the modern organizations, and in new empirical work on the use of computers in collaborative creativity.
