Two men are each called the inventor of email: one chose the @ sign between two computers in 1971, the other wrote a program he named EMAIL as a 14-year-old in 1978, and the fight over whose claim counts ended up in a federal courtroom

In late 1971, Ray Tomlinson wheeled his chair between two PDP-10 mainframes at BBN in Cambridge and sent the first message between computers on ARPANET, choosing the @ symbol because no one's name would ever contain it. Read more

Walking through a doorway can make you forget what you came to do even when you travel the same distance and return to the original room, because the brain treats a boundary as the end of one event and begins organising the next before the old intention has followed you through

The 'doorway effect' says crossing a threshold makes you forget, because the brain files experience into events and a boundary closes one off. It's a real finding, though a 2021 replication suggests it is smaller and more load-dependent than the popular version. Read more

Most of what you do all day runs on habit, not choice — but a new study found the habits are usually working for you, not against you

Researchers tracked 105 people six times a day for a week. About two-thirds of what they did was triggered by habit, and nearly nine in ten actions were carried out on autopilot. The surprise wasn't the size of the autopilot — it was how often the automatic thing and the intended thing turned out to be the same. Read more

In a classic experiment, people preferred to repeat 90 seconds of painfully cold water rather than 60 seconds of the same pain because the longer trial ended just one degree warmer, revealing that memory often judges an experience by its worst moment and its ending rather than by how long it lasted

There is the pain a person lives through, and then there is the pain their memory files away for later. The unsettling part of the classic cold-water experiment is that those two versions of an experience do not always agree. In the study, published in Psychological Science in 1993 by Daniel Kahneman, Barbara Fredrickson, Charles ... Read more Read more
