    Potter, Hartman & Ward (2009) in Perceived stress and everyday memory complaints among older adult women, Journal of Anxiety, Stress & Coping, Vol 22, Issue 4, Pages 475-481, suggested "Partial correlation analyses indicated that higher levels of perceived stress were associated with higher levels of memory complaints." But sample size small (n= 54). Caution should be used.

    I bet with the small sample size (n = 54) they used Pearson r to do their correlation analysis, which, may be stretching it. Using caution as recommended above, perhaps they should have treated it nonparametrically and used an appropriate statistical formula accordingly?

    Probably parametric treatment. Statistical violation.

    Month end close, grant reports due 30 out, so a bit of distress may account for my forgetting my dreams.

    Cramming for exams. Dream forgetfulness. But not school materials. Forgetfulness selective?

    Methinks that the scholarly literature would be lacking in concept selective forgetfulness.

    Forgot if I locked home door this morning. Went back to check. Procedural knowledge forgotten. Declarative remembered for exams. Wonders. Which stands out in dreams? Procedural? Declarative? Both? Ask Richard Clark?

    Dick would be pleased to see your use of procedural and declarative knowledge as applied to dreams. I'll bring it up when I coffee with him next.

    Dream recall. Procedural or declarative? Derridean dichotomy?

    Grand point. Will give it some thought and reply when time permits.

    Jacques Derrida might turn over in his grave? If limiting ourselves to procedural and declarative?

    What extent will the final exams cram and data dump affect dream content, as well as post-exam forgetfulness?

    Those of us that are examless but with autoimmune issues ( chrons, RA etc ) can have disturbed sleep patterns.

    Immunosuppressant reducing cell replication rate compounds symptoms ?

    Good question.

    See Davidof-Lustig, M., et al, (published online 7 July 2009), Correspondence: Memory Abnormalities in My Asthenia Gravis: Possible Fatigue of Central Nervous System Cholinergic Circuits, Autoimmunity, Vol 14, pp 85-86, suggests from a study that there were conflicting results as pertains to memory loss when associated with immunosuppressants.

    More sources needed to answer this question.
