Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Source amnesia is the inability to remember where or how previously learned information has been acquired, while still retaining the factual knowledge. In this scenario, Jerry cannot remember the medium through which he got the information about the show, which suggests source amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories, while retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories that were formed before an injury or trauma. Dissociative amnesia involves the inability to remember important personal information, usually due to a traumatic or stressful event. None of these explanations fit the scenario given.
