Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anterograde amnesia is a type of memory loss that occurs when you can’t form new memories. In the most extreme cases, this means you permanently lose the ability to learn or retain any new information. On its own, this type of memory loss is rare.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anterograde amnesia is a subset of amnesia. In such cases, the amnesia (memory loss) has already occurred. It’s caused by damage to memory-making parts of your brain. In some cases amnesia may be temporary, but in other cases it may be permanent.
Detailed explanation-3: -In most cases of anterograde amnesia, patients lose declarative memory, or the recollection of facts, but they retain nondeclarative memory, often called procedural memory.
