Déjà-vu effect in Psychology

Hey dear community, at the beginning I welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you had a day that brought many interesting experiences into your life! In this article, I would like to discuss an interesting psychological phenomenon and hope you can learn new things.

Everyone should know the situation that one is experiencing a situation that was already present in the past without there being any reference to the fact that someone has actually experienced it and this phenomenon is also referred to as Déjà-vu and the term is derived from the French and means already seen. Most people have already experienced this effect one or more times in their life's and it is typical that these moments usually occur very spontaneously and disappear just as quickly and there are diverse interpretations about the exact cause and often it is also associated with supernatural things or the sixth sense and there is no exact explanation from a scientific point of view and for a long time, this phenomenon even thought to be a kind of disorder of perception and was described as a kind of disease and when a déjà-vu occurs, people feel confused or strange and do not know how to deal with it. It has been found out that people with certain pre-existing conditions are particularly often affected by it and with different diseases, symptoms occur which are very similar and can also trigger these moments and there are views that some information is not processed evenly and that does not arrive synchronously in the brain and the processing of the information takes place incorrectly and thus the entire impression is distorted. Some suspect that it can be connected to the subconscious and similar thoughts as well as numerous links with sensory impressions are stored there with which one connects and confuses them and when one experiences moments at which a certain stimulus was perceived which is linked to similar perceptions, a situation is triggered which is connected with similar moments and as a result, this moment occurs similarly. Within science there are numerous other possibilities of explanations and it could also be specific errors of some areas of the brain and there are some attempts to artificially create these moments and to it is definitely one of the interesting paranormal phenomena.

Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about psychology! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
