  • The Doorway Effect: Why Walking Into a Room Makes You Forget Things
    Nov 22 2024

    Welcome to the Mind Theory Podcast, where we explore groundbreaking research, fascinating psychological phenomena, and the mysteries of human behavior. In this episode, we dive into The Doorway Effect—the curious memory lapse many experience when walking into a new room.

    Join us as we unpack the research of Professor Gabriel Radvansky, whose study, published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, reveals how crossing a doorway creates a mental "event boundary" that compartmentalizes memories. We’ll explore:

    • What causes this strange phenomenon
    • The experiments conducted in both virtual and real environments
    • How doorways affect memory retrieval across spaces
    • Practical tips to counteract this effect in your daily life

    Whether you’re a psychology enthusiast, a curious thinker, or someone who wants to better understand the quirks of the human brain, this episode is for you.
