Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with anterograde amnesia have difficulty forming new memories after the onset of amnesia, meaning they might not remember learning a task they actually did learn recently. They can still learn tasks through procedural memory (like typing or sports) and can recognize patterns (like Greek letters), but they may not consciously recall the learning process.
