How Does Stress Affect Your Memory?

How Does Stress Affect Your Memory? Link: https://rankingmastery.com/edit_quest... Answer is: Stress affects memory in two different ways. First off, when you are under stress, there is decreased blood flow to much of the brain, particularly to the parts of the brain that are not absolutely necessary for immediate survival. Areas of the brain, including parts of the brain involved in creativity, planning, remembering -- all of the things that seem to make us more human – are deactivated. In addition, judgment and critical thinking change when you're under stress and that's because the body is having a survival response. When you feel stress, it is the same thing as feeling fear over a long period of time and your body responds the same way. Your body believes that its survival is threatened. So, processes that take extra energy, like memory, are not important to your survival, in comparison with powering your muscles or other more critical right now in the now functions. So, when you are under stress you literally can't remember things as well because your body is busy using its brain power to scan for things that are going to keep it safe. Now the other thing that happens when you're under stress is that you don't make memories in the same way. Very frequently your attention is so focused that you miss details and the parts of the brain that make new memories is often relatively offline. You may know people who have had major traumatic events or have been in shock; when you ask them about the situation, they frequently can't remember what happened. When your brain is exposed to stress, it considers making and retrieving memories as optional. Of course, they really aren’t option, but when you're under a stress response the body acts as if memory is optional. If you're experiencing brain fog and you're under a lot of stress, it is the stress response which literally makes your brain cloudy -- starving parts of your brain of oxygen, changing the blood flow and making it difficult to make and recall memories.
