FORENAMES ARE NOT ESTABLISHED FROM A SOURCE WE READ AND MUST BE CITED AS INITIALS, R. E. Lurie and D. L. Westerman. THIS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY THE REPLICATION ROSEN MEANS BY 'MOST RECENTLY IN 2021'. Participants either viewed or photographed paintings, drawings and photographs and were then given memory tests for either visual details or the concepts depicted, after both a 20-minute and a 48-hour delay. Reported finding: impairment on both perceptually driven and conceptually driven tests and at both delays, which the secondary accounts say was CONTRARY TO THE AUTHORS' OWN PREDICTIONS. A later paper reusing their procedure and stimuli describes their Experiment 1 as finding d = 1.25. HONESTY REQUIREMENT, AND IT IS BINDING: that effect size reaches us from a later paper's description and not from our reading of Lurie and Westerman, so it must be attributed that way or dropped, and this publication may not say that Lurie and Westerman found d = 1.25. ALSO RECORDED AT THE SAME LOW STRENGTH: Soares, J. S., & Storm, B. C. (2022), 'Does taking multiple photos lead to a photo-taking-impairment effect?', Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, doi:10.3758/s13423-022-02149-2, which reports the effect when participants take multiple photographs.
