Memory suppression is a process which may be broken down into the 4 basic levels described below: | |||
#'''Partial short-term memory suppression''' - At the lowest level, this effect is a partial and potentially inconsistent failure of a person's short-term memory. It can cause effects such as a general [[focus suppression|difficulty staying focused]], an increase in distractibility, and a general tendency to forget what one is thinking or saying. | #'''Partial short-term memory suppression''' - At the lowest level, this effect is a partial and potentially inconsistent failure of a person's short-term memory.
