THE DOORWAY EFFECT

Have you ever walked into a room and suddenly forgotten what you went there to do? Like, immediately you crossed the door, everything just go fiammm.

It happened to me today for real😂 I went inside to take something and i forgot what I went there to take.

 And you know what, it's not the first time ooo so,I got curious and I decided to find out what is the cause of it and boom, I found something that caught my attention.

There's actually a name for this and It's called the Doorway Effect.


It's a psychological phenomenon where moving from one environment to another can sometimes make it harder for us to remember what we were just thinking about.

And, I also got to realize that, our brains organise experiences into different events, almost like chapters in a book. So, crossing a doorway can sometimes signal the beginning of a new chapter, making information from the previous one harder to retrieve.

Funny how something as ordinary as walking through a door can reveal so much about how our brains work.


Now you know there's actually a name for that little moment of confusion you normally have😂

Oya tell me thank you in my opay like that🤭
