Binge-Watching and Marathon Reading May Boost Memory and Imagination, Study Finds

Two studies in Acta Psychologica found that binge-watching TV shows and marathon reading make stories more memorable and heighten retrospective imaginative involvement, especially when readers pursue boundary expansion. How a story is perceived (enjoyed vs appreciated) shapes later imagination; more leisure time increases imaginative engagement, while higher stress reduces it. All participants were undergraduates, so results may not generalize to broader populations.

The Universality of Memorable Beauty

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Chicago shows that the memorability of artwork is consistent across people and can be predicted by artificial intelligence (AI). Using a deep learning neural network called ResMem, the researchers found that certain paintings were more likely to be memorable, regardless of subjective experiences of beauty or personal meaning. The study suggests that memorability is linked to how interesting people find a piece of art, rather than its visual features or emotional tone. The findings have implications for artists, advertisers, educators, and anyone seeking to create content that sticks in people's minds.
