Group Think and transactive memory

Group think and transactive memory are both very interesting processes that rely heavily on the group and not on the individual. Group think discourages expressing personal viewpoints and encourages consensus thinking. People engaged in group think are somewhat glazed over because everyone is relying on the other to come up with an idea. Transactive memory on the other hand is where people remember things in groups. Each person doesn't need to remember everything the group as a whole needs to know.
Group think and transactive memory both apply to the context of gaming in groups. The responsibilities of gaming can and are distributed throughout the group. The individual isn't thinking, the group is. In group think the individual is actually using less of their brain power than if they were working independently. In group gaming transactive memory is also applied. Certain members of the group would have to know different material than the other half. Group think and transactive memory are not only present in gaming but are also present in the classroom and in professional careers. They always say that two heads are better than one.
