Question

suppose your watching your favorite soap opera after one of the main characters is thrown from a galloping horse, she suffers from amnesia. wht type of amnesia is she most likely experiencing? a) anterograde b) repressive c) retrograde d) regressive

Answer 1

im pretty sure its Retrograde

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 4 types of amnesia:

Repression- purposefully forgetting things (self-defense)

Infantile- not clear of early childhood memories

Anterograde- bump on the head. Memories just before and after the trauma are absent

Retrograde- severe trauma, car accident.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be B) Repressive

In such a case, it would probably occur that the person still has those memories, however, they were affected by trauma and stress and repressed them. They would still be influenced by them subconsciously though. This is a highly debatable theory in psychology.
