Yes, it can. The evidence for this is not overwhelming, however. That said, some people who have been burned out and recovered will report memory problems. It is unlikely that an individual will suffer from wide-ranging memory loss as a result of occupational burnout, however. It is more likely that the sort of concentration that is needed in the workplace becomes too difficult for people who are extremely stressed and pressurised. This means that they may not be able to take on new information even when it is presented clearly to them, something that turns out to be like memory loss down the line. In reality, the information was never taken on board fully, and no memory of it ever existed. Some studies have detected a thinning of the cerebral cortex in areas of the brain associated with memory function, but this does not occur to everyone. It is not yet clear exactly how this might cause memory loss as distinct from other issues, such as cognitive ability and concentration.
