14. Henry is a 20 year old college student who has just been in a car accident where he suffered multiple injuries. He was transported by ambulance to the emergency room and upon examination, it is apparent he has retrograde amnesia. When he is asked about events that
occurred just before the accident, he cannot recall those memories.
What type of memories were affected by the accident?
15. Fast forward several years later. Henry is 77 and recalls how wonderful his life has been. He fully recovered from that car accident in college. He and his wife of 45 years have just retired to Boca Raton. They are out at a restaurant and his wife is talking to him but he has trouble
hearing her.
How do you explain what is happening to Henry?
