Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia affects the ability to form new memories after the onset of the condition. Luis would struggle with remembering new information, such as a joke he heard yesterday, but not with tasks or information learned before the surgery, like riding a bike, swimming, or telling an old joke.
