Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Source amnesia is the inability to remember the origin through which a particular piece of information was acquired. In this case, Jerry cannot recall the medium through which he received information about the rock band's performance, indicating source amnesia. Anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to form new memories, while retrograde amnesia involves the inability to recollect events that occurred before the onset of amnesia. Dissociative amnesia is characterized by the inability to recall important personal information usually caused by a traumatic event. None of these conditions accurately describe Jerry's situation.
