How you sometimes want to plunge into childhood, remember all the joyful and happy moments. Such memories help to distract from unpleasant thoughts and solve all difficult cases. Looking through photographs, we remember this or that event in our life, but do we all remember?
You lose memory when you take pictures
Taking photos during the holidays is a common thing, as everyone wants to remember and immortalize the best moments of their lives. But scientists have found that those who are carried away by this process do not focus on what is happening around them. Dr. Linda Henkel and her team of scientists from Fairfield University conducted an unusual experiment in a museum and analyzed whether the process of photographing affects a person's memory. A group of students visited the Bellarmini Art Museum, while some of the students took pictures, and the rest memorized the exhibits. A day later, scientists decided to check their memory of what they saw. The results of the study showed that the second group of students remembered the smallest details about the exhibits, in contrast to those who photographed.
How to remember important details and points
Memory is the most unexplored property of the human nervous system. Why do we involuntarily remember what we heard on the radio today, but, for example, do not remember what we ate yesterday? In order for pleasant moments to remain in the mind, it is necessary to train memory and develop thinking. Try yourself in journalism: get a notebook and always carry it with you. As you visit various places and events, you can write down important dates, a list of people you met, the names of restaurants and hotels where you stayed, as well as the impressions you experienced from a particular day. When taking a photo, try to convey the atmosphere of the place where you are. In order not to forget about important contacts and upcoming meetings, you can create a scrapbook. Place the required business card, check, information booklet or leaflet in such a folder or pencil case so that you can easily find it at the right time.
Are you delighted and surprised by your trip? Write down your impressions in a personal journal. Of course, it will take an extra minute to write, but try to find it and write down your experiences, joy and other emotions in a diary. In the future, you will be pleased to read the diary, as a book that keeps all the most intimate about you. There may be experiences that you want to share with your friends or people who share your interests. To do this, you can take notes about important points in the blog, shoot videos and post them on youtube, or write an article on a portal that suits your interests.
