Black Owl Posted September 24, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2012 "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 door!

Pam Posted September 24, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2012 I made three trips down to the basement and around the rec room before I got that new can of coffie out of the pantry this morning. Yep must be the door, because my mind is like a steel trap.......One that has been left in the rain to long:confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebrrg3rd Posted September 24, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 24, 2012 Black owl, you must have walked thru a door as you posted this both in watering hole & fun & frivolous. I suppose it's better to walk thru a door than into them. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
