[spatial] [dyslexia]

a condition often attributed to but not always caused by lack of sleep, in which the sufferer misplaces objects by substituting one item with another unconsciously, due to a short attention span and/or attempting too many tasks at once, resulting in confusion, consternation and at times deprivation until the item is found.

Throwing the full packet of cigarettes into the trash instead of the empty lighter you were intending to discard is a good example of spatial dyslexia.

Twitter Dyslexia
