[00:00:00]Have you ever just met someone, but while talking to them, you already forgot their name?

[00:00:06]This is called the next-in-line effect.

[00:00:10]When meeting someone new, your brain gets so busy thinking about what to say next that it forgets to properly store incoming information. That's why later, your brain can confuse their name with other names.

[00:00:25]Be honest, who else pretends to remember someone's name after completely forgetting it? Let me know in the comments.
