LAS VEGAS (CBS LAS VEGAS) ? Watching excessive amounts of online pornography can adversely affect a person?s short-term memory and decision-making ability.
In the first study of its kind, German scientists linked the brain?s ability to complete a task, reason, and understand concepts with people?s viewing of pornographic images. The 28 heterosexual men in the University of Duisburg-Essen study were tasked with viewing a combination of pornographic and non-pornographic pictures while also trying to keep their order straight.
The men ? an average age of 26 ? viewed the pictures and were asked to touch a ?yes? or ?no? key to indicate whether the mixed sexual and non-sexual images had been seen four slides before. The study found a significantly greater amount of wrong answers from the men who viewed more of the pornographic images.
The men who saw slideshows of clean images scored an average of 80 percent correctly, while men who were viewing the pornographic images only scored 67 percent correctly.
