The Doorway Effect

You ever sat on a real couch and suddenly realized,

'Gotta go pick up the scissors in the office. '

We rose with determination, walked full speed, but as soon as our feet passed through the door,..

Everything cut! 😳

We stopped standing still, stood puzzled in the middle of the room and asked ourselves, 'What are we doing here?'

This is not a sign of dementia, and it is not that you have ADHD, but a psychological phenomenon called the Doorway Effect, or the doorway phenomenon.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame explain that the brain sees the Event Boundary as the Event Boundary.

'The end of one incident. '

Imagine that your brain is like a computer. When you walk from the living room into the office, the brain will make an 'Archive' or store the file of the living room first to prepare a RAM area to receive new information in the office. Unfortunately, the intention is to pick it up.

The scissors, it was seen as the information of an old room, so it was erased with the door that had just passed!

How to fix it? Scientists suggest

1. Recite it like a prayer: walk, roam.

'Scissors, scissors, scissors' Don't let the image of scissors fall out of the head.

2. Make an accompanying gesture: If you want to pick up the remote, you can press the remote all the way to the body to remember the brain.

3. Walk back to the same place: If you really forget, walk back to the beginning and the brain will do a 'Retrieve' or pull back the old data files.

So the next time you walk into a room and forget, don't panic, know that your brain is just 'organizing information' for you, but it's a little too diligent! 😂
