Definition: « Collaborative inhibition refers to the phenomenon that when several people work together to produce a single memory report, they typically produce fewer items than when the unique items in the individual reports of the same number of participants are combined (i.e., nominal recall). » (Wessel et al., 2015, p. 437).
Définition : L'inhibition collaborative fait référence au phénomène selon lequel le rappel collaboratif de personnes se souvenant ensemble contient généralement moins d'éléments que le rappel combiné (et non redondant) de personnes se souvenant séparément (rappel nominal).
