Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia is the loss of memory from the point of injury or illness forward, meaning that the individual cannot form new memories. Retrograde amnesia, on the other hand, is the loss of memory from a period of time before the injury or illness. Consolidation refers to the process of converting short-term memories into long-term memories. Infantile amnesia is the inability to remember events from early childhood, typically before the age of 4 or 5.
