#doorway effect

[entishramblings]

Ok so you asked, ye shall receive a semi entertaining thought? Idk lol

Ever done that thing where you walk into a room, needing to get something and forget why you walked in there?

And then you walk back out, remember what you wanted but as soon as you walk in, it’s like: Fuck — what did I need again?

Now repeat that a few times and you have me on a daily basis 😂

Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this 😂

Also me on a daily basis 👇🏻

Love you, love your writing, you make my day!! ❤️

We actually mentioned this one of my psych classes! I believe it’s called the doorway effect! Aparently it means your brain is mega overwhelmed.

Happens to me all the time as well :/

Also omg thank you for loving my writing *excited author sounds*

You know how you walk into another room and forget what you went there for?

Is it normal to do that with new browser tabs, too?

Open browser tab... immediately forget why...

But some people out there are consumed by their constant complaining. And it’s infectious. The more you complain the more you find and see things worth complaining about. And that’s not healthy. It’s not healthy for them, it’s not healthy for the people around them.I can’t pay you for every minute you have to face something that annoys you—I’m really sorry—but that doesn’t mean you can still…

Why does walking through doorways make us forget?

Forgetting why you entered a room is called the “Doorway Effect”, and it may reveal as much about the strengths of human memory, as it does the weaknesses.

Really good explanation of how this happens, and about memory in general.
