Sometimes a movie you watch ends when you least expect it, but you can’t shake off its impact for a long time.<\/div>\n
A song gets stuck in your tongue. You can’t remember the rest, you can’t get the song out of your head all day.<\/div>\n
When you leave the exam, you remember the questions you couldn’t solve before.<\/div>\n
When you go on vacation, the things you leave unfinished keep your mind busy.<\/div>\n
Episodes always end in the most exciting place in the TV series you watch because the scriptwriters know that scene will always linger in your mind until the next episode.<\/div>\n
An unfinished love is remembered for a lifetime.<\/div>\n
An unfinished homework disturbs you in dreams.<\/div>\n
This is called the Zeigarnik Effect. This psychological concept, which describes that incomplete or divided things are easier to remember than completed ones, takes its name from the Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik.<\/div>\n

Bluma Zeigernik’s attention is drawn to the fact that the waiter remembers the orders of the whole group without recording them in a restaurant he goes to with his friends.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He returns to the restaurant and asks how he remembers so many orders, but the waiter doesn’t even remember the group that came. He says that he wrote the orders in his mind and deleted them from his memory after delivering them to the people.<\/div>\n
