It’s a well-known psychological thing known as Doorway effect. It it to do with the fact that memories are more easily retrieved in the environment in which they were formed. In this case, short-term memory gets wiped when entering a different room.
Yep, a lot of the time if I go back to where I was when I thought of it, it comes back to me.
