Forget why you walked into the room? Blame the door, say psychologists

Just installed a new bathroom door the other day. So proud of myself.

Great job! Gives it that "open~airy" feng shui energy!

We've all walked into a room only to find that the reason for doing so has suddenly and entirely vanished from our mind.

Psychologists have discovered the so-called ‘senior moments’ that can leave us utterly bemused and retracing our steps may actually be caused by the way the brain processes information as the body leaves one room and enters another.

Wow! I never would've thought that the brain was that specific in what it takes in.
