How Does Technology Affect Our Memory?
View comment
Cheap and voluminous capture abilities have no doubt changed how we experience events. But I think we're in a temporary phase of history here. Cameras requiring manual control (and thus our attention) will be replaced by devices that can function automatically, putting us back close in touch with direct experience. But will we go back to using memory the same way we did before everyone had digital cameras?

Andy thank you so much for your insightful and stimulating comments! (We're asking the Experiment.com staff to work on the line break issue.) I think you've very eloquently expressed how creative endeavors require synergy of external and internal resources. I think there's a similar interplay between what we in memory research call Working Memory (present awareness) and Long-Term Memory. Working Memory can hold and manipulate a handful symbolic representations at a time, which can be expanded with more detail by extracting information from Long-Term Memory and/or the external environment.
