1 . The sun is setting at the end of a day at the beach — the light is just right. You reach for your phone because you want to remember this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science that photo-takers need to know:     1    .

Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychological science professor.     2    . It works in one of two ways, Loftus explains: We either offload the responsibility of remembering moments when we take pictures of them, or we’re so distracted (使分心) by the process of taking a photo that we miss the moment altogether. That process of “offloading” our memory is called the photo-taking damage effect.     3    . Therefore, they don’t pay full attention to it in a way that might help them remember.

The other explanation for memory loss when you take that picture is attentional disengagement.     4    : how we hold our phone, framing the photo to make sure people are smiling and the background is to our liking, ensuring the image is clear — all of which uses up cognitive (认知的) skills or attentional resources that could otherwise help us keep that memory.

    5    , says Loftus, such as when a graduate accepts a diploma (毕业文凭) or when a child blows out birthday candles. Those are times when we have the added pressure of catching a quick moment and concentrating on getting it right. Our brains are caught up in helping us take that perfect photo instead of keeping that perfect memory.

A．So you get the photo, but kind of lose the memory

B．You shouldn’t take photos when travelling with friends

C．People know their camera is catching that moment for them

D．Taking photos is not the perfect memory-keeping tool you think it is

E．It’s what happens when we’re distracted by the process of taking a photo

F．Attentional disengagement is especially likely to occur during milestone moments

G．People had a harder time remembering art objects when they took pictures of them
