Abstract

Stress is estimated as a manifestation process that starts when the individual realizes a difficult event or in which he finds himself intimidated or overwhelmed by his means. Normally the events that set it in motion are those that are linked to variations that demand too much care from the person and therefore put their individual well-being at risk. Selye was the one who initially originated the somatic stress paradigm. He identified three stages or phases in the organic-vital response to stress, being factors of the 'General Adaptation Syndrome' The three stages are: alarm reaction, resistance and exhaustion. Regarding work stress, it is a pattern of reactions that originates when workers face work demands that are not equivalent to their expectations; Stressors can be present in any work sector, in any position or level and in any circumstance in which the person or load to which they cannot adapt quickly may be subjected. Memory is defined as the ability to retain, consolidate, and retrieve data. There are different areas of the brain involved in this function and that events such as stress can change their functionality.
