We've all walked into a room only to find that the reason for doing so has suddenly and entirely vanished from our mind. 有没有这样的经历：我们进屋想要干点什么，结果却发现完全忘记自己进屋的目的了，脑子里什么都不记得了。 Psychologists have discovered the so-called ‘senior moments’ that can leave us utterly bemused and retracing our steps may actually be caused by the way the brain processes information as the body leaves one room and enters another. 心理学家最近发现，当我们离开房间并进入另一个房间时，这种“老年性的瞬间记忆丧失”会让我们完全茫然失措，我们得回想一下自己的步骤。这些其实跟我们大脑处理信息的方式有关。 It appears the mind regards a doorway as something experts call an ‘event boundary’, signalling the end of one memory episode and the beginning of another. 我们大脑似乎会将门视为所谓的“事件边界”（专家术语），标志着一个记忆场景的结束和另一个新记忆场景的开始。 Psychologists found the brain tends to file away events and memories from one room as soon as it exits into another, storing information in successive chapters or episodes. 心理学家发现，一旦我们离开所在房间进入另一个，我们的大脑就会将我们在一个房间内的事件和记忆归档，信息会以连续章节或场景的形式存储在我们脑中。 |
