Laden is experiencing source amnesia, which is the inability to remember the source of a memory, such as who gave her the teddy bear or which birthday she received it on. Cryptomnesia is when a person thinks a new idea is original, but it is actually a forgotten memory. Retrograde amnesia is the inability to recall memories before an event, and anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories after an event. Neither of the latter two options apply to Laden's situation.
