Anterograde Amnesia Definition. Anterograde Amnesia is a rare condition characterized by a typical pattern of memory loss. It is generally caused by some traumatic brain injury or a mental shock. The disorder makes it impossible for a patient to create fresh memories after the incident that leads to the amnesia. This means they are unable to remember incidences from recent past.
Retrograde amnesia after a trauma such as a car accident is often a form of retrieval failure. We know this because memories lost in retrograde amnesia (e.g. memories for the time right before the crash) often come back. By contrast, lost memories in anterograde amnesia never come back, probably because they were never properly formed in the first place. The following essay from a student illustrates both retrograde and anterograde amnesias triggered by a powerful hit on the football field.
