Search Google alters the functioning of memory, Study Finds

 Google

According to a survey conducted by scholars from the universities of Columbia, Wisconsin and Harvard, researching questions on Google changes the performance of memory in our brain. The study appears in the July issue of Science magazine.

According to the authors - Betsy Sparrow, Jenny Liu and Daniel Wegner - the ease of finding information via Google have changed the way our brain works when there is doubt, replacing the memory of the specific facts that you understand where the information can be found more easily - most often, on some website.

The notion that no information can be easily found by the computer notes would have been lowered in some volunteers memory tests, but on the other hand, people be able to retain more of the location at which data can be found that the information contained therein , allowing the birth of a more practical memory and allowing the brain to engage in other activities.

"The Internet has become our primary form of external memory, where information can be archived collectively instead of getting stuck in our minds," says the presentation of research.
