Tetris Effect


a condition caused when a person plays too much tetris. it is considered a psychological habit.

there are two symptoms of tetris effect, which occur without conscientiously thinking of it:
1. a person can’t help but notice how neatly objects in the real world could be stacked together, and imagines a sort of tetris game in which the objects are stacked.
2. a person visualizes games of tetris or tetris scenarios when they daydream, project mental images, or close their eyes.

note: such an effect occurs with various repet-tive or puzzling tasks, most commonly chess, polarium, and guitar hero.
