Why did you forget what you were just doing? |

Have you ever walked into a room and realized you don't remember what you're doing there? The findings of a new study suggest that you can blame it on the doorway, msnbc.com reported.
"When you go from room to room, your brain identifies each room as a new event and sets a new memory trace to capture the new event," said lead researcher Gabriel Radvansky, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Notre Dame.
Like a chapter marker, doorways end old episodes and begin new ones. This makes it difficult to retrieve older memories because they've already been filed away.

過門即忘 真有其事?
???????你是否遇到下述狀況:走進(jìn)房間,卻忘記自己要做什么。據(jù)MSNBC報道,一項最新研究顯示,這都是門道惹的禍。
???????主導(dǎo)這項研究的美國諾特丹大學(xué)心理學(xué)教授——加百利·拉德萬斯基博士稱:“當(dāng)你從一間房走進(jìn)另一間房,大腦會把每間房都當(dāng)作新事件,建立新的記憶途徑去捕捉新事物?!?/p>
???????就像章節(jié)標(biāo)記一樣,門道會把舊的片段合上,開始新篇章。因為已經(jīng)歸檔,調(diào)出之前的記憶便顯得困難。
