NOTE

Enhancing Thinking in Relationships and Group Dynamics

In relationships, leaving traces of thinking, generating a sense of shared fate, and using cognitive apprenticeship are recommended practices to enhance thinking outside the head. It is noted that the shift towards internalized thinking poses challenges, especially for skill acquisition among novices. The concept of cognitive apprenticeship involves modeling and explicitly articulating one's thinking process to aid others, akin to a tailor demonstrating cloth cutting. Additionally, the utilization of a transactive memory system within groups enables the collective access to knowledge, surpassing individual capacities. By identifying experts within a team and leveraging this shared knowledge system, groups operate more effectively as a superorganism, enhancing performance and outcomes. Research indicates that teams with robust transactive memory systems, like groups of doctors, exhibit improved patient outcomes and shorter hospital stays. Therefore, the focus should extend beyond individual memory improvement to synergistic information sharing and collaboration within group systems.
