Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Margaret's ability to recall past memories indicates that she does not have retrograde amnesia. However, her difficulty forming new memories suggests that she has anterograde amnesia. Storage decay refers to forgetting over time due to lack of use, and proactive interference refers to the interference of previously learned information with the learning or recall of new information. Neither of these concepts fully explain Margaret's memory difficulty.
