Abstract: [Objective] The main purpose of this article is to explore the psychological mechanism of the formation and maintenance of collective memory. [Methods] The psychological mechanism of the formation of collective memory was systematically discussed by epidemiological research methods. [Results] This paper systematically explains the psychological mechanisms of social contagion, retrieval-induced forgetting, shared reality and network convergence in the formation of collective memory. this paper also explains the psychological principle of the validity of collective memory. [Limitations] The research on the validity of cultural memory is insufficient, and it is not sensitive enough to the memory changes caused by media technology changes. [Conclusions] Some achievements have been made in the research of collective memory psychology, but we still need to broaden our horizons and actively promote localization research.
