- An irony of collaboration is that it often inhibits immediate performance. A well-established finding is the ‘collaborative inhibition’ of recall in group memory tasks. This article shows, however, that collaborative recall can have positive effects on subsequent recall – collaboration is effective as a kind of re-study even when it is ineffective in terms of the recall it supports. This finding changes the way collaboration should be theorised, and the way computer-mediated collaboration should be designed and assessed. The work is beginning to influence other researchers investigating the use of computer technologies for collaborative problem solving.
