Yesterday it was toilets.......today doors. You can see I don't have a lot of exciting things in my life to write about????
I have always loved doors........and wondered a lot if doors keep you out or if they keep you in? And I just read something else interesting about the use of doors. Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a door way triggers what's known as an 'Event Boundry'........in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts and memories you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.
Thank goodness for studies like this.....It's not our age, it's that stupid door.
