This seems sort of intuitive to me so I’m inclined to believe it, but at this point can we really believe any of these sort of pop-behavioral studies with interesting quirky effects?

It seems like the entire field is so overwhelmed with fake data and bullshit that it’s hard to separate anything that might actually be real.

This is a weird comment. The Wikipedia article has a comprehensive list of sources underneath, and the comments on this post are full of people saying "this exact thing happens to me".

So I'm going to say, yes, we can believe it.

Consider an acute care facility. Patient care supplies (IV bags, IV sets, catheters, dressing supplies) are usually in a side room called the supply room.

Ours was in a room behind a doorframe without a door. If I was getting dressing supplies in a state of flow/on auto-pilot, more often than not, I would blank as soon as I went through that doorway and would have to actively think exactly what the hell I was there for.
