Collaborative cognition, in which two or more people work together on a cognitive task, may be typical of everyday life, and may even represent an important aspect of everyday cognitive adaptation for older adults. We examined collaborative memory for stories by comparing younger (n = 64) older (n = 66) individuals and dyads with collaborative performance produced by married spouses and stranger dyads. Overall, across four collaborative recall products (two positive and two negative performance indicators), some evidence for our hypothesis of general or selective collaborative effectiveness was observed. Moreover, such evidence was obtained at both an immediate and delayed recall episode. Discussion includes applications, limitations and suggestions for future research.
合作认知是指两个或更多人共同完成一项认知任务，它可能是日常生活中的典型现象，甚至可能代表了老年人日常认知适应的一个重要方面。我们通过比较年轻人（n = 64）、老年人（n = 66）个体以及已婚配偶和陌生二人组产生的合作表现，来研究对故事的合作记忆。总体而言，在四个合作回忆产物（两个积极和两个消极表现指标）中，观察到了一些支持我们关于一般或选择性合作有效性假设的证据。此外，在即时回忆和延迟回忆阶段都获得了此类证据。讨论包括应用、局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
