Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Anterograde amnesia is a condition where a person is unable to form new memories after an event, while retrograde amnesia is a condition where a person is unable to recall past memories. Given the scenario, it is possible that John may have retrograde amnesia, but not anterograde amnesia, as they are able to recall a past memory.
