What is the doorway effect, and why do rooms make it worse?

Have you ever walked through a doorway and into a room fully intending to carry out a task, only to forget what you were supposed to be doing?

But what is actually happening when you cross the threshold, and why do rooms make it worse? In this gallery, we explore this topic in more detail and offer up some explanations.
