According to Dr. Leah Croll, an assistant professor and board-certified neurologist at Temple University, who spoke with ABC News:
There is a limit to how much data your brain can handle simultaneously. In that regard, it is similar to a computer.
So, with all these stimuli bombarding your senses, something is bound to give. Memory storage is often that something. Some have drawn parallels to the amnesia that follows a terrible occurrence.
“When people experience trauma, sometimes that memory gets blocked out or isn’t formed properly,” says Dr. Punit Shah, a professor and psychologist at the University of Bath, explaining this to MailOnline.
