This study builds on the assumption that large-scale social phenomena emerge out of the interaction between individual cognitive mechanisms and social dynamics. Within this framework, we empirically investigated the propagation of memory effects (retrieval induced forgetting and practice effects) through sequences of social interactions. We found that the influence a public figure has on an individual's memories propagates in conversations between attitudinally similar, but not attitudinally dissimilar interactants, further affecting their subsequent memories [3]. The implementation of this transitivity principle in agent based simulations revealed the impact of community size, number of conversations and network structure on the dynamics of collective memory.
