Title: Retrograde amnesia in dementia and memory disorders: Are we any nearer to an understanding?
Abstract: Dementing and amnesic disorders can arise from a variety of different aetiologies.
Whatever the underlying cause, there is an anterograde component to the deficit,
i.e., an impairment in new learning, which is in recall and recognition memory for
episodes and facts that arose after the onset of the illness or injury. There is usually also a retrograde amnesia (R.A.), i.e., the loss of memory for episodes or facts
which occurred before the onset of the illness or injury.
