The electromagnetic transitions to various low-lying excited states of ${}^{16}\mathrm{O},$ ${}^{48}\mathrm{Ca},$ and ${}^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ are calculated within a model which considers the short-range correlations. In general the effects of the correlations are small and do not explain the required quenching to describe the data.
