Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrograde amnesia refers to the inability to remember events and information that occurred before the onset of amnesia. In this case, Bill cannot remember the events prior to the accident, which suggests retrograde amnesia. Infantile amnesia refers to the inability to remember events from early childhood. Anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to form new memories after the onset of amnesia. Traumagrade is not a recognized term in the field of psychology or neuroscience.
