Dear student

The major difference between retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia is the following: Retrograde amnesia is the inability to recall past memories while anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

When someone who suffers a TBI recovers from a period of loss of consciousness they often have retrograde amnesia, that is, they cannot remember the accident and the few minutes prior to the accident. Anterograde amnesia is the inability to recall what happens in the minutes after recovering from loss of consciousness
