Answer: Anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to recall events or information experienced after a trauma to the brain. The person is conscious after the trauma, but is unable to store memories for events after the trauma. In contrast, retrograde amnesia refers to the inability to recall events that occurred PRIOR to the trauma. Typically, events near the trauma are more likely to be lost than are remote events.
