Answer 1

Source amnesia

Step-by-step explanation:

Source amnesia: It refers to the incapability to remember the W's of acquiring previously learned information causing to retain factual knowledge. Here, the W's refer to them when, where and how of the information. Source amnesia malfunctions an individual's explicit memory.
