Answer 1

Retrograde amnesia

Step-by-step explanation:

The loss of long-term memories from the past as the result of a brain injury, infection,

illness, etc is called retrograde amnesia.

This kind of amnesia makes a person who suffers this amnesia unable to remember long term memories of events before the amnesia. It usually does not affect their ability to learn and store new memories.
