This was linked on Less Wrong just before Thanksgiving (http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/8ik/link_walking_through_doors_causes_forgetting/ http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/8ik/link_walking_throug... ) and I left this comment: There is an old trick to help you remember something; concentrate on remembering peripheral things, recovering the context, where you were and what you were doing, when you heard or saw what you want to remember. I'm not surprised that it works in reverse, changing contexts interfering with recall, as well. ADDED: Actually, the link in the LW post was to an earlier paper, to which the one here is a follow-up. But this one was also linked to in the comments.
