By the symptoms, Kyree is showing we can conclude that the head trauma that he has experienced has caused him to get anterograde amnesia, which is a condition in which patients can not form new memories. Specifically, they are unable to move information from short-term memory-term memory.
The most likely cause of his condition is trauma on the part of the limbic system called the hippocampus since this structure is responsible for processing memories.
