familiarity filter 

The "familiarity filter" refers to the phenomenon where children are more inclined to listen to strangers rather than their own parents, often due to filtering out familiar things that have always been there.

It's interesting how the familiarity filter works; my child pays more attention to advice from a teacher than from me, just because it feels new and different.

Repetitive Familiarity Amnesia 

The inability to remember if you did something you do every day.

Every morning when you leave the house, you push the button on the garage door remote closing the garage door. Then 10 minutes later, you can’t recall if you closed the garage door because you do the exact same action at the exact same time every morning, so they all blend together and you couldn’t tell if your memory was from that morning or any of the previous mornings where you went through the same motions like you have countless times before. You just experienced Repetitive Familiarity Amnesia.

John and Jane are both unemployed, so they have a lot of time to spend together. They start getting feelings that they mistaken as romance. They start really dating, get jobs and realize they were suffering from societal familiarity disorder (SFD)!

Chorus Familiarity

When you don't recognize a song until the chorus then you know it instantly.

Probably most likely due to 80s and 90s commercials for music compilations where they only played snippets of the catchy chorus but not the rest, and lack of access meant if you weren't already familiar with the song you only had the chorus to go by.

Can also apply to songs you only know as samples.

I didn't recognize Lovergirl until I got to the chorus, then I got Chorus Familiarity.
