why do we suddenly forget things when we enter a new room/pass through a door?
In: Other
The brain is contextual. Different contexts require remembering different things. Eg: while cooking you need to remember to keep the fire going, while out in the woods you need to look out for tracks.
Moving room is a context switch. You’re in a new place now, so your active memory dumps things to load information more relevant to the new context.
