Anterograde amnesia involves the inability to form new memories for events that occurred after the time of an injury or traumatic event. Retrograde amnesia refers to memory loss for events that occurred before the time of injury, while proactive amnesia refers to difficulty in recalling previously learned information. Cryptomnesia is a type of memory distortion where someone believes that they came up with a new idea or concept, when in reality it was previously encountered but forgotten.
