accept it as a weird or inappropriate feeling and then move on with daily life. As time goes on and psychology becomes more and more contemporary, research and studies of déjà vu have been able to shed some light on the mysterious (but harmless) mental phenomena.
Edward Titchener, a psychologist heavily credited with bringing the concept of “structuralism” to the United States, touched on the subject of déjà vu in his 1928 book, A Textbook of Psychology. In his book he explained that déjà vu is not a precognition or a psychic prediction but rather a glitch in a memory, which gives people experiencing the phenomena the false belief that the event had previously occurred. Titchener described déjà vu as a person having a “brief glimpse” of an event/object/situation before the brain has fully constructed a memory of said event/object/situation. It has been thought that déjà vu is caused by the brain’s short term and long term memory overlapping, or mixing together, which makes the person believe that the recent event took place further back in time than it actually did.
