Internet search engines. The flip side is that information that is not easily retrievable online will be more
easily remembered
- Wegner et al (1985) suggested that an additional form of memory might exist within groups of closely
linked individuals. Such TRANSACTIVE MEMORY SYSTEMS are expected to be more than just the sum
