Walking through doorways causes forgetting, new research shows // News // Notre Dame News // University of Notre Dame
New research from University of Notre Dame Psychology Professor Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses.
"Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an 'event boundary' in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away," Radvansky explains.
"Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a different room is difficult because it has been compartmentalized."
