M. S. Weldon and K. D. Bellinger (1997) showed that people who collaborate on a recall test (collaborative group) perform much more poorly than the same number of people tested individually (nominal group). Four experiments tested the hypothesis that retrieval-strategy disruption underlies this collaborative inhibition when categorized lists are studied. Collaborative groups performed worse than nominal groups when categories were large (Experiment 1) and when category names were provided at recall (Experiment 2). However, collaborative- and nominal-group recall were equivalent when participants retrieved nonoverlapping parts of the list (Experiment 3) and when participants were forced to organize their recall by category (Experiment 4). Clearly, disorganized retrieval can account for collaborative inhibition with the materials and procedures used here.
M. S. 韦尔登和K. D. 贝林格(1997年)表明,在回忆测试中进行协作的人(协作组)的表现比相同人数单独测试的人(名义组)差得多。四项实验检验了这样一个假设:当研究分类列表时,检索策略的干扰是这种协作抑制的基础。当类别数量较多时(实验1)以及在回忆时提供类别名称时(实验2),协作组的表现比名义组差。然而,当参与者检索列表中不重叠的部分时(实验3)以及当参与者被迫按类别组织回忆时(实验4),协作组和名义组的回忆表现相当。显然,杂乱无章的检索可以解释此处所用材料和程序下的协作抑制现象。
