Retrograde amnesia is like losing a saved document due to a power loss, as it affects the ability to recall past memories. Anterograde amnesia, on the other hand, is like pressing "save" and having the document disappear, as it affects the ability to form new memories. The other choices (adolescent amnesia, conductive amnesia, procedural amnesia, and implicit amnesia) are not relevant to the analogy.
