I can also confirm that I've noticed after a very stressful period of over 4 years that my memory was completely shot.
When I entered the workforce, at first I noticed I couldn't remember names at all, I would have to either concentrate on the name while ignoring the conversation in front of me, or I pay attention to the conversation but have an almost certain chance I will forget the name.
I've noticed in general that I had poor short term memory, but I never realised this issue when I was in college.
The worst part was not being able to remember what tasks I accomplished just a few hours before at work, boy that always made me feel good.
It's been driving me nuts for years, I'm unsure how much I have recovered if at all.
