I walked through a door 35 years ago and have been lost ever since.

Doorways cause memory loss, whenever I'm going to a different room for something I say it out loud as I pass the threshold of the doorway.

Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context.

This part made me think about how sometimes "retracing" my steps, going back to the other room, suddenly makes me remember what I wanted to do.

So, not sure how solid that study is, but it's certainly quite an interesting idea, thanks for sharing!
