Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrograde amnesia affects the ability to recall events that occurred before the onset of amnesia; in this case, Sona cannot remember events leading up to her surgery. Consolidation is the process by which memories become stable in the brain, and a disruption in this process can lead to difficulties in recalling past events.
