That's because you don't give your brain a excuse to be lazy. If the brain knows that it can offload the information somewhere else, it will do so. Instead of you recalling from memory the image, you recall from memory where the image is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22113...
This is certainly one of the reasons which I figured out (esp. during my personal productivity experiments), but on the other hand, not concentrating on "recording device" allows concentrating to the event more, leading to listening and seeing more what's happening on the stage.
Thanks for the paper, BTW.
