The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon occurs when a person, after having learned some fact, word, or phrase, or otherwise become aware of some piece of information for the first time, encounters that item again, perhaps several times, shortly after having learned it. An example would be if an individual learns a new word that was previously unknown to him, and then, shortly after hearing it for the first time, encounters again in a conversation later that day and then, while watching TV later that same day, hears it used again, even though before having learned it earlier that day the individual cannot recall ever having heard the word previously.

  • The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon occurs when a person, after having learned some fact, word, or phrase, or otherwise become aware of some piece of information for the first time, encounters that item again, perhaps several times, shortly after having learned it. An example would be if an individual learns a new word that was previously unknown to him, and then, shortly after hearing it for the first time, encounters again in a conversation later that day and then, while watching TV later that same day, hears it used again, even though before having learned it earlier that day the individual cannot recall ever having heard the word previously. There are several theories about the source of the phenomenon, including a popular one that cites its primary cause as being the Recency Effect, in which the human brain has a bias that lends increased prominence to new or recently acquired information. The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is sometimes confused with the phenomenon of Synchronicity, which is a similar but none-the-less different phenomenon. It is also not to be confused with the German urban gang of the same name, although whoever named the phenomenon likely did so because s/he experienced it either for the first time or in a very profound way after learning of the Baader Meinhoff Gang for the first time.
