Using the Retrograde Amnesia and Anterograde Amnesia knowledge points

The scenario describes Demarcus forgetting information and events that occurred prior to his head injury (the concussion during his lacrosse match).

• Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memory for events that occurred, or information that was learned, before the injury or onset of the disease.
• Anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories after the onset of the injury.

Since Demarcus cannot recall events prior to the match, his condition is classified as retrograde amnesia.
