Source monitoring is made difficult when the similarity between candidate Sources increases. The current work examines, how individual differences in social intelligence and perspective-taking abilities serve to increase source similarity and thus negatively impact Source memory. Strangers first engaged in a cooperative storytelling task. On each trial, a single word was shown to both participants, but only 1 participant was designated to add a story sentence, using this assigned word. As predicted, social intelligence negatively predicted performance in a subsequent source-monitoring task. In a 2nd study, preventing participants from being able to anticipate their partner's next contribution to the story eliminated the effect.
