This assignment made me think about taking pictures. There is a process to taking a picture. There are settings to change, including the focus and frame of the photo. Information is retrieved from long-term memory, while at the same time sensory and working memory is occurring when looking through the lens. The diagram to the left describes the two theories in relation to the art of taking a picture.
