doorway effect

Doorway effect is a common psychological phenomenon where people forget what they intended to do after walking through a doorway into a new room. It is also known as the "location updating effect," and it is not a sign of memory loss or dementia. The brain creates mental "event boundaries" when crossing a threshold, which helps organize memories but can cause you to forget your original goal in the new environment.

Man, I'm tired of constantly putting the salad inside the fridge due to experiencing doorway effect on my way to the fridge.

A Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.

In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows A Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.
