Fragmentation of memory

[2] Brain dysfunction often has other related consequences, such as oversensitivity to some stimuli, impulsiveness, lack of direction in life, occasional aggressiveness, a distorted perception of oneself, and impaired ability to empathize with others, which is usually masked.[3] Therefore, it is important to understand fragmentation of memory in order to treat posttraumatic stress disorder.[6] While experimentation has found results relating to fragmentation of memory, these findings aren't always very clear or conclusive because there are limitations regarding the methods used in experiments.These can be attributed to examples such as the fact that there isn't a definite way to test for posttraumatic stress disorder.After a traumatic event, people often dissociate from the experience by separating memories from the emotions involved.
