Content: 3. Chronic stress affects schema processing
Research has found that prior knowledge, represented as a schema, facilitates memory encoding. Stress can impair the brain regions responsible for this encoding, which can cause memory problems, especially with new or recent information. [ 16]
Memory problems can contribute to mental confusion and cognitive impairment. 4. Sleep deprivation
Chronic stress can cause sleep disruption. Sleep disruption affects cognitive performance and working memory. If anxiety, stress, or hyperstimulation are affecting the quality of your sleep, research shows sleep disruption (acute or chronic) can harm cognitive performance and memory (both short- and long-term memory). [ 17] As the degree, frequency, and duration of sleep disruption increases, cognitive and memory performance decrease. Sleep disruption can cause mental confusion and cognitive impairment.
