Taking pictures will affect people's memory. The more photos you take, the worse your memory. What is the scientific basis?

Although electronic products are becoming more and more popular now, many people begin to record the moments in their lives by taking photos, but there is a saying on the Internet that the more photos you take, the worse your memory. Is there any scientific basis for this?

There was a survey in the United States, and this study also included two experiments. In the first experiment, many people went to the art museum and then asked them to shoot some works with their cameras. After the visit, ask the group to recall the artworks they saw. And they recalled fewer products than those that were not photographed.

In the second experiment, when the photographer enlarged the photo, they found that the photo had no effect on the memory of the whole artwork. This study also shows that our human memory is very different from that of a camera, and it seems that taking pictures will affect people's memory. This statement has no scientific basis. In fact, we can know whether memory has anything to do with taking pictures without these two experiments.

When people look through their mobile phone albums, they will find some particularly interesting photos. Seeing these photos can also remind us of the scene at that time, and these photos seem to enhance our memory at that time. The scene at that time appeared in our minds like a movie. It can be seen that recording life with a camera does not reduce our memory. On the contrary, through the display of some photos, our memory of the events at that time became clearer and clearer.

It can be seen that the statement that taking pictures will affect people's memory is not completely correct. Now, you don't have to worry too much, you can take pictures happily.
