How does anxiety impair memory retention?

633 views

If I’m studying for a test and I’m anxious, I’ll remember less of the material. If I’m relaxed, then I retain more information and understand connections between topics more easily. Does the neurological pathway of anxiety negate the pathway that forms memories. I don’t know, but it’s frustrating ☹️.

Well if you are overthinking something other than what you’re studying I guess it would make sense that you don’t remember it as well.
