Exam 6: Team Communication and Collective Intelligence

A transactive memory system,or TMS,is a shared system for attending to,encoding,storing,processing,and retrieving information.In one investigation,teams were asked to assemble radios without written instructions.The most effective group was given what type of training experience before "group test day"?

A team that has a large representational gap has:

In a longitudinal study of teams that worked together for over 5 years,a series of behavioral changes took place in these aging groups.Each of the following occurred EXCEPT:

The common information effect is best described as the tendency for groups to:

Accountability refers to the extent to which people and teams feel responsible for their actions and decisions and teams that are accountable are less likely to focus on unshared information.When groups are made to be accountable for their ________,rather than ________,they are more likely to repeat unshared information and make better decisions.

A truism for optimizing the knowledge resources of a team,is that teams perform better when their members know who is good at what.Two advantages of this shared knowledge amongst team members are that unexpected problems can be solved more quickly and:

When a team consists of members who come from different functional areas,with different areas of expertise,different information,different priorities,and different perceptions of problems and opportunities,the ________ is exacerbated.

________ coordination is the synchronization of members' actions based on assumptions about what others on the team are likely to do and members' attempts to coordinate work in this way begins prior to actual team interaction.

Which of the following strategies for reducing the common information effect has been found to be most effective?

Transactive Memory Systems are the ways in which teams encode,store,process and retrieve critical information necessary for doing their work.Of the following,select the best situational example of a Transactive Memory System.

A team with a high adaptive capacity brings what capability to their organization?

A study at an R&D organization,where teams worked together for more than five years,revealed what?

A team mental model is a common understanding that members of a team share about how something works.For example,a team might have a common understanding of how to assemble a transistor radio.All of the following are true about team mental models EXCEPT:
