“Such collaborative benefits may be due to well-developed systems for communicating and coordinating joint recall that older couples (compared to convenience groups of strangers) have developed, because they are well practised in remembering together (“transactive memory systems”; Wegner, 1987).”

“This is consistent with the predictions of transactive memory theory (Wegner, 1987; Wegner et al., 1985) regarding the importance of successful communication or “transactions” in bringing about the memory benefits associated with transactive memory systems.”

“Depending on their role, expertise, and responsibilities in an existing interpersonal relationship, interaction partners may have created a system that supports the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information for different contexts; this has been termed transactive memory [37].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
