46、up to the canyons edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like got it done, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictu
47、res these days - before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reporte
48、d The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they r
49、emembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.When people rely on technology to remember them counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.
50、But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that werent in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm y
51、our memory. But shouldnt reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research ha
52、s shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.1、Why did the author mention Henkels trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?ATo complain about some tourists bad habi
