Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrograde amnesia is a type of memory loss that affects a person's ability to remember events or information from the past, such as what happened before a car accident. Anterograde amnesia, on the other hand, is a type of memory loss that affects a person's ability to create new memories or learn new information, which is Carson's problem. Therefore, the best choice is C. Neither Ann nor Carson have symptoms that fit the descriptions of apraxia or aphasia.
