KembaraXtra-Psychology – Blackout
A blackout refers to a temporary loss of memory for events that occurred during a period of consciousness, most commonly associated with acute alcohol intoxication but also occurring in certain neurological conditions. During an alcohol-induced blackout, individuals may appear alert and capable of functioning but later have no recollection of events due to disruption of memory consolidation processes in the hippocampus. Unlike loss of consciousness, blackout involves preserved awareness at the time but impaired encoding into long-term memory.
