Out of sight out of mind

Out of sight out of mind is a fallacy of thought, meaning that something which is not plainly evident is either ignored or forgotten.
The saying finds its origins from the 13th-century terms "in mind" (remembered) and "out of mind" (forgotten), essentially meaning that something that is not in view is not remembered.
