In addition to amnesia due to the activity of various parts of the self, people may experience difficulties with concentration, attention, other memory problems and general spaciness. These symptoms often accompany dissociation of the personality, but they are also common in people who do not have dissociative disorders.

When various parts of the personality are active, by definition, a person experiences some kind of abrupt change in attention and consciousness.”
