VIP Class Notes (Nemo)

Original

I read a short article about doorway effect. We have all done it, you run upstairs for your keys but when you reach the top you forget what you were just looking for. Or when you open a fridge door and only  realize that you can’t remember what you wanted in the first place. Such kind of errors are embarrassing  but they are common. It is known as a doorway effect, the scientist provides a story to help us understand it. A women asked three builders what were they doing. The first one answered, he was putting one brick on the top of another, the 2nd one said-he was building a wall, the last one said, he was building a church. The point of the story is, when we try to understand our behavior, we should try to understand it from multiple levels/ look at it from different angles
