Input amnesia is a ux design term. It is when a user makes a wrong input due to being accustomed to a similar apparatus they were just using or are familiar with. Consider some examples.
- Pressing the wrong button in a video game because a previous game you played uses that bottom for the desired function. In Skyrim, players sometimes accidentally steal/pick up items because the A/X button (used to pick up items) in other video games is often used to jump.
- A manual driver accidentally reaching for the stick shift in an automatic car.
Being aware of input amnesia helps designers make better designs.

"Sometimes I use my key fob that opens my Acura for Honda. My Honda doesn't open with a key fob. I am standing there pressing my Acura's unlock bottom instantly realizing I am a klutz. This example of input amnesia is caused by me being used to similar input but by habit choosing a wrong one".

Donut Media is hilarious. I love it when James Pumphrey does his flamboyant Southerner voice. Nolan definitely gets paid the least. It is probably because he is Canadian. That other dude looks like James Franco. His parents wished he went to med school. How much can the black dude bench? Three Zach Jobes for sure. The Legal Beagle is not an attorney. What happened to the boring science guy?
