Now I understand why, when I go the library, I can’t remember what books seemed interesting while I was at home over the previous weeks.

Will backing up in reverse through the doorway bring back the memory?

Sometimes people who have forgotten why they entered a room retrace their steps, and walk back out of the room, in order to refresh their memory.

That automatic behavior really makes sense, now.
