Title: It's the door!
Post by: king310 on February 16, 2013, 06:59:45 pm

Thankfully someone has tracked down the cause of this terrible malady ?
Whew! What a relief to learn this...

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was?

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.

It's not aging, it's the damn door!
Thank goodness for studies like this. ;D ;D

It is a break in the space-time continuum.

I can forget my purpose just by going down stairs - no door, doorway, or threshold.  Now why was I replying to this question?
