Presents a review of 4 experiments to examine whether information provided directly and indirectly by others would systematically influence individuals' memory performance, focusing on the application of social comparison to memory. Exp 1 examined the moderating role of item salience on recollection. Exp 2 assessed suboptimal encoding conditions as a facilitator of social influence. Exp 3 looked at the effects of group size and dissenters. Exp 4 examined normative vs informative influence.

Exp 1 examined the moderating role of item salience on recollection. Exp 2 assessed suboptimal encoding conditions as a facilitator of social influence. Exp 3 looked at the effects of group size and dissenters. Exp 4 examined normative vs informative influence. The present findings strongly suggest that social influence is not restricted to individuals' attitudes and behaviors but that individuals' memory performance can be very susceptible to social influence.
