A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.
I think you’ve summed it up brilliantly here. I’m sure anyone who’s ever played a game like Tetris a little too long will remember closing their eyes to go to sleep and still seeing tetronimos! So I guess it pushes everything else out of the ‘RAM’ of our visual memory, including the traumatic stuff. No room for this horrid memory, the mind-cupboard is full of tetronimos now
