Hi all. I'm just curious if anyone knows any informative article or has personal experience of any link between being in a stressful situation (especially if it's over a considerable period like weeks or months) and the effect it can have on your brain's capacity to remember information that it had been recently told (also over the preceding weeks or months).
I'm especially interested in the ability to NOT remember being told about something, and you would swear that you had not ever been told.
To give an example - You could be under stress as you have a major operation to face but you've been told your new cooker is arriving on a certain date but you have no recollection of being told that.
Just looking for people being told something verbally, not having it in writing.
I hope that makes some sort of sense.
Thanks
