Forgetfulness is a sign of efficient brain function - scientists

Study conducted by Oliver Baumann of Bond University.

It turns out that it is normal not to recognize a colleague at work in a store, having met him there completely unexpectedly. The point is that our brain codes and groups objects to work more efficiently. Accordingly, a colleague for your brain cannot exist outside the office until you encounter him outside the office.

When we see an employee in an office, the memory system generates a snapshot of both the person and the office. Our brain thinks that a person belongs to this room, if we see him in another place, then the brain does not recognize him as an office worker.

Despite the logical oddities that scientists have found in such a memory mechanism, it is he who allows our brain to work more efficiently and not waste resources on what we do not need. When we meet a person outside the office, then we will work with him separately.

Therefore, you should not scold a child for forgetfulness, this very forgetfulness is part of human nature.
