You may use your phone to remember some perfect moments in your life. But before you do this, here's a surprising finding that photo-takers need to know: Taking photos is not as perfect a memory-retention(记忆储存) tool as you think. “In fact, taking too many pictures could harm the brain's ability to keep memories,” says Elizabeth Loftus, a science professor at the University of California. So you may get the photos but kind of lose memories.
It works in two ways. Loftus explains: We either forget the duty of remembering moments when we take pictures of them, or we're so distracted(使分心) by the process of taking a photo that we miss the moment. For example, if you write down someone's phone number, you're less likely to remember it at any time because your brain tells you there's just no need. That's OK until that piece of paper goes missing.
But photo-takers don't need to feel down. Here are some tips on how to make taking photos help, not harm your memories.
Have someone else take the photos. Ask a friend or family member to take photos for you at important events so you can fully enjoy the activity.
Pay more attention to the details(细节). If you pay attention to the details of a scene before taking a photo, that process can help keep memories.
Look at your photos from time to time. Photos are a useful tool for memory keeping only if we spend time looking through photos, but not everyone can do that.
