Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to form new memories, often due to damage to the hippocampus and other structures involved in memory consolidation. It does not affect the ability to remember events from the past (retrograde amnesia) or working memory tasks. Proactive inhibition refers to the interference of previously learned information with new learning, which is not directly related to anterograde amnesia.
