Detailed explanation-1: -Anterograde amnesia is a condition where the brain is impaired in encoding new memories. Patients with anterograde amnesia may still remember the past but have problems recalling events (from a few to all events) that have happened since their amnesia began. Leonard suffers from the worst kind of anterograde amnesia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leonard, the central character, is focused on finding the man who, during a home invasion, murdered Leonard’s wife and crushed Leonard’s skull, leaving him with brain damage. The brain damage left Leonard with severe anterograde amnesia.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is a type of short-term memory loss that hinders a person to hold and keep new memories. Most often this type of amnesia is caused by damage to the brain. Leonard was unable to keep any his memories after the injury he sustained. There was irreparable damage to his hippocampus.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Memento the main character, Leonard Shelby (Lenny), acquires anterograde amnesia when he is struck over the head by an assailant during his wife’s murder. During the struggle he is able to kill one of the assailants, but the other escapes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Implicit memory is also sometimes referred to as nondeclarative memory since you are not able to consciously bring it into awareness.
