Transactive Memory Systems 1985–2010: An Integrative Framework of Key Dimensions, Antecedents, and Consequences (2011, background): “To more fully understand the impact of membership change on TMS and group performance, Lewis et al. (2007) conducted a laboratory experiment that compared the performance of intact groups, partially intact groups, and totally reconstituted groups.”
Team Receptivity to Newcomers: Five Decades of Evidence and Future Research Themes (2013, background): “…innovation (Choi & Thompson, 2005; Nemeth & Ormiston, 2007; Perretti & Negro, 2007; Ziller et al., 1962); (2) reliance on team cognitive processes (Lewis et al., 2007), (3) reflection on internal group processes (Arrow & McGrath, 1993), (4) the production of unique ideas (Baer et al., 2010;…”
Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science (2015, background): “Whereas team mental models represent common understandings, transactive memory captures the distribution of unique knowledge across team members (Wegner, Giuliano, and Hertel, 1985), especially their shared understanding of “who knows what” such that they can access and direct relevant knowledge (Li”
Knowledge Collaboration in Online Communities (2011, background): “Membership turnover may help group performance by bringing in novel expertise, but it threatens the cognitive structures and processes that are so useful for expertise coordination (e.g., Lewis et al. 2007).”
Organizational Learning: From Experience to Knowledge (2011, unknown): “2005), changing tasks (Lewis et al. 2007), or disasters (Majchrzak et al.”
Transactive Memory Systems (2008, background): “Another study based on a similar protocol showed that partial membership changes were harmful to TMS and performance because older members followed their original understanding of who knows what (Lewis et al., 2007).”
