Daily habit impairing memory for millions
The article addresses the phenomenon of "digital amnesia," where many rely on smartphones as an external memory to store numbers, tasks, and photos, thereby reducing the need to remember this information internally. Studies have shown that excessive dependence on devices does not cause permanent memory loss, but it may diminish the practice of mental skills such as memorization and recall, especially with the use of navigation apps that lead to a decline in spatial skills. Research also indicates that training London taxi drivers in navigation alters areas of the brain responsible for orientation. Additionally, constant notifications distract the brain and reduce its ability to form lasting memories. While devices offer many benefits in making life easier, experts warn that over-reliance on them can weaken memory and navigation abilities if these skills are not regularly practiced.
