Now we have scientific proof - what a relief to learn this!
When you walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to
completely forget what that purpose was; it turns out, doors
themselves are to blame for these strange memory
lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have
discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an
"Event Boundary" in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and
memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in
the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.
Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's that
stupid doorway !:D:D
