Stress impairs memory retrieval. Recent findings illustrate the temporal dynamics and the underlying mechanisms of this effect. The effect appears to occur in multiple memory systems, ranging from striatal-based stimulus-response memory to prefrontal-based extinction memory. The effects of stress on memory retrieval might have long-term consequences due to their impact on re-encoding and re-consolidation. These properties could be of interest for future intervention studies.
