Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laden is experiencing misattribution because she remembers the event but cannot correctly attribute the source or timing of the memory. Cryptomnesia involves unconsciously plagiarizing someone else's work, while retrograde amnesia involves the inability to recall past memories, and anterograde amnesia involves the inability to form new memories after an event.
