Taking Photos Boost Visual Memories, But Impairs Auditory Memory

A quick glance at any social media platform will tell you that people love taking photos of their experiences - whether they're lying on the beach, touring a museum, or just waiting in line at the grocery store. New research shows that choosing to take photos may actually help us remember the visual details of our encounters.

Taking Photos Boost Visual Memories, But Impairs Auditory Memory

A quick glance at any social media platform will tell you that people love taking photos of their experiences – whether they’re lying on the beach, touring a museum, or just waiting in line at the grocery store. New research shows that choosing to take photos may actually help us remember the visual details of our encounters.

The findings are published in Psychological Science.

“Our research is novel because it shows that photo-taking itself improves memory for visual aspects of an experience but can hurt memory for nonvisual aspects, like auditory details,” the authors say.

Tw // Auditory Kin Memory

||VENT|| (KIN VENT) /SRS ||   Please don’t make fun of me. As some of you know this is my new account. I am prone to bullying. I remember hearing Stewie, My son, Saying “mom.. Mom.. mommy” etc... The famous scene... Having so many people laugh at and reference such a personal aspect of your life is beyond traumatic. Clips and edited videos just make me feel awful. Do i not raise my son Stewie Griffin well enough? Maybe Peter and I need to consider taking those parenting classes...I can hear his voice.. I was so tired... I screamed at my son...... I feel like an awful mother I hope Chris and Meg didn’t hear it... Ugh.. I don’t remember seeing a single thing im not sure why hence the auditor tag...

Hospitals

It's so interesting to me the memories I get when I smell a hospital. When I was 10 or 11 my grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer which later went into her brain. She began living with us to get treatment and we spent a lot of time in hospitals. Now I had just bought a DS Lite for myself with my allowance money I had saved up and my dad encouraged me to get Super Mario 64, which was great cause it was a super fun game to play. But because I played it so much, whenever I smell that overly-sterilized smell of a hospital all I hear is Mario's jumping noises and the music and the dinging of the coins.

does anyone else have certain words or phrases in their vocabulary that are forever coloured in a particular person’s tones ? that you read in your head and hear in their voice, speaking as audibly and viscerally as the very first time, when that person unwittingly marked them, words that will forever be associated with now absent people ??
