        that's what it is - a memory held by the collective as opposed by the individual.

          Read up on the theories of Jung and you will find your answer.

              My theory is that collective memory is related to cohorts. Meaning it's a generational thing. Collective memory cannot apply to every individual at any one set given point in time. For example, my generation will know what it was like to experience the news/horror/pain and upset of 9/11 wheras my daughters generation won't because my generation has collective memory of this event.

                are you talking about collective memory, collective unconscious, or ...? you seem confused.

                a collective memory is a memory held by a group. don't know how much simpler it can get.

                    your taking the literal definition for the term, technically if you take the term collective memory, yes...the literal translation of that is memory held by the collective. But the term itself goes waaaay deeper than that...

                    this is the difference between someone that knows what they are talking about and someone who does surface research to answer a question without reading the scholarship out there on the subject.

                    I.E. difference between a layman and a master's student lol

                          no, only the unintelligent take a simple definition and try to obfuscate and complexify it in order to make themselves appear intelligent.

                            It's simple to understand.

                            Individual memory --> You bang a hot chick and then remember that thing while drinking some beer
                            Collective memory --> You gangbang a hot chick with your friends and then you remember that while drinking some beer with them.

                            As you can see, individual memory and collective memory may be very similar, but not always the same, specially if you received friendly fire during the gangbang process.

                                To use science as an example.

                                Scientists of today have available to them the collective memory of all of history's previous scientists. That is collective memory.

                                  Collective unconscious, uh? That's someway somehow "the reservoir" of archetypes on everyone's pysche (it is also called "objective unconscious"), in the archetypes there are cyphered the learnings (someway related to our instincts) of the human beings through all times.

                                    Check Carl G. Jung theory.
