Previous studies demonstrated the positive and negative effects of collaboration on memory (both veridical and false recall) and suggestibility in face-to-face contexts. However, it remains unclear whether the same results can be observed in a virtual context. To clarify this issue, the present study examined the performance of 10 nominal triads and 10 collaborative triads in a fully online setting. Participants interacted live, in videoconference and were tested with the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (GSS) and the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) task. For the GSS, the results replicated the in-person pattern of results, with collaborative triads showing the standard inhibition effect in the immediate and delayed (after 24 h) recall tasks; in addition, collaborative triads were less suggestible than nominal triads. For the DRM, we likewise found that collaboration decreased the recall and recognition of both studied items (the standard inhibitory effect) and critical lures (the error-pruning effect). We therefore conclude that remembering in a virtual context exhibits the same general properties as its in-person counterpart, at least when using a videoconference setting.

先前的研究证明了面对面环境中合作对记忆（真实回忆和错误回忆）和暗示性的积极和消极影响。然而，目前尚不清楚在虚拟环境中是否可以观察到相同的结果。为了澄清这个问题，本研究在完全在线的环境中检查了 10 个名义三合会和 10 个协作三合会的表现。参与者通过视频会议进行现场互动，并接受了 Gudjonsson 建议量表 (GSS) 和 Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) 任务的测试。对于 GSS，结果复制了面对面的结果模式，协作三联体在立即和延迟（24 小时后）回忆任务中显示出标准抑制效果；此外，合作性三合会比名义性三合会更不易受到暗示。对于 DRM，我们同样发现协作降低了对研究项目（标准抑制效应）和关键诱饵（错误修剪效应）的回忆和识别。因此，我们得出的结论是，虚拟环境中的记忆表现出与面对面记忆相同的一般属性，至少在使用视频会议设置时是这样。
