Are dates, details and daily tasks feeling a bit fuzzy these past couple of years? It’s not just you, experts say.
It’s not laziness or losing your sharpness — being in a global pandemic for the last two years is actually making it harder for our brains to make and recall memories, said Amir-Homayoun Javadi, a senior lecturer in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom.
“Sometimes we’re a little bit harder on ourselves. We think, ‘Oh, how did I forget this? This is something that should be so natural for me to store,'” he said. “But it turns out that something happened during encoding that made it actually impossible for you to even get this memory onboard to begin with.
While in lockdown or not participating in your pre-pandemic activities, each day may look similar. This sameness takes away the anchors that help us organize our memories.
