Science studying the phenomenon have called doors “memory erasers”. Your brain considers a different room the equivalent of a different environment, and tosses out the short term memory from the environment you’re no longer in (the next room over).
The effect is so pronounced it can be replicated by having participants go through a “virtual doorway” on a computer.

Can’t remember if I read this or figured it out myself, as I went through a door immediately after.
