In fact, it applies even to virtual rooms in computer games. I first heard about that research over a year ago and also <a href="http://dawntreader-island2.blogspot.se/2012/01/dangerous-doorways.html" rel="nofollow">blogged</a> about it back then (I just went back to check my own post).

Whichever room in the house I go into I'm highly unlikely to go for a set purpose although even I am unlikely to forget what I went into the bathroom for.

Mine are rarely closed, so perhaps there is no justification for my forgetfulness. Great shot of the rescue craft, I can imagine what a welcome sight that is sometimes!
