Suppose you are there in the museum, with the head-sized smartphone permanently positioned in front of your nose. According to a new study published in Psychological Science this week, you are doing it all wrong. That tiny camera you are using to carefully【A1】______your art viewing experience is actually【A2】______your art memory, not preserving it. The study,【A3】______by Fairfield University’s psychological scientist Linda Henkel, claims that museum goers have worse memories【A4】______objects and specific object details【A5】______they used a camera to record paintings, archeological relics or historical artifacts【A6】______It’s a phenomenon Henkel calls the “photo-taking impairment effect. “ “ When people【A7】______technology to remember for them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to【A8】______to it fully themselves — it can have a negative【A9】______on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explains in a description of the study. To reach her conclusion, Henkel【A10】______an experiment at Bellarmine Art Museum at Fairfield University,【A11】______she recruited undergraduate students to【A12】______the institute and take note of specific objects on display. The subjects could either photograph the items or just observe them — it was【A13】______them. Then the following day, the students’ memories were tested. The results proved that the camera-happy participants【A14】______worse than the persons who relied on their simple observation skills. “Research has suggested that the sheer【A15】______and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and reminiscing about them,” Henkel states.
