Taking a photo of something impairs your memory of it

Interesting, but I don't necessarily like their interpretation. I think the brain creates some neural paths to disengage memory when a camera is used, but this happens over time, probably after years of phone usage. The fact that they are forced to delete the photos and get the same results is understandable...you can't just tell your brain "please remember this painting now, because I deleted the photo". You need to train it in time.
