Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories following an event, such as a traumatic injury. This is in contrast to retrograde amnesia, which is the loss of memories prior to the event. Proactive and retroactive amnesia refer to the loss of previously learned information, not the inability to form new memories.
