Superminds: The Surprising Power of People and Computers Thinking Together

General intelligence predicts the speed at which someone learns. For example, someone with high general intelligence will likely learn something faster than someone with lower general intelligence. It was tested to see if the same is true of groups with high collective intelligence. It was found that groups with higher collective intelligence learn things faster than groups with lower collective intelligence. 

Collective Intelligence and Speed of Learing

In this study, collective intelligence is defined as a specific group’s ability to perform well across a range of different tasks. The collective intelligence of a group is a significant predictor of its performance on these tasks, while the average individual intelligence of group members is, surprisingly, not. Overall, collective intelligence is thought to emerge from both bottom-up and top-down processes. These processes can either be beneficial or detrimental to group performance.
