| Abstract: | Previous research has found that decision-making groups do not effectively pool unshared information. This study examined how personal expertise facilitates the mentioning and validation of unshared information in collective recall and decision-making groups by increasing members' awareness of who holds what types of information. Assigned expertise increased substantially the proportion of unshared information mentioned during both collective recall and decision-making tasks. |
