Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question describes a scenario where, after an accident and hospital stay, the person cannot recall memories from that stay. This points to a problem with forming or storing new memories after the event, rather than losing memories from before the event.
Option 1: anterograde. This is the correct concept here: anterograde amnesia is the inability to encode or form new memories following the onset of the amnesia-inducing event (the accident), while older memories from before the event can be intact.
Option 2: retroactive. Retroactive amnesia refers to difficulty recalling information or events that occurred after a certain point due to the intrusion of more recently learned material, or more broadly to memory loss of past information due to new learning. This doesn’t match the described pattern of not remembering the hospital stay itself, which is new memory formation being impaired.
Option 3: retrograde. Retrograde amnesia involves loss of memories for information and events that happened before the onset of amnesia (i.e., memories from prior to the accident). Since the scenario highlights the hospital stay memories being missing rather than pre-accident memories, this option is unsuitable.
Option 4: proactive. Proactive interference occurs when old information disrupts the learning of new information. This term is about interference between memories, not a classic amnesia syndrome caused by the accident, and does not capture the failure to form new post-event memories described here.
