Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Henry Molaison (H.M.) did not have severe retrograde amnesia; instead, he had severe anterograde amnesia, meaning he could not form new memories after his surgery. Retrograde amnesia refers to the loss of memories formed before an event, such as an injury or surgery, which was not the primary issue for H.M.
