- photo-taking-impairment
- Assertion
- Participants who took photos of museum objects later remembered fewer of those objects, and fewer details about them, than participants who only observed the objects; zooming in on a specific part of an object attenuated this photo-taking-impairment effect.
- Quote
Results showed a photo-taking-impairment effect: If participants took a photo of each object as a whole, they remembered fewer objects and remembered fewer details about the objects and the objects' locations in the museum than if they instead only observed the objects and did not photograph them. However, when participants zoomed in to photograph a specific part of the object, their subsequent recognition and detail memory was not impaired.
