Answer:

Anterograde amnesia

Step-by-step explanation:

Anterograde amnesia can be defined as the inability to create new memories, giving rise to partial or complete inability to recall the recent past but the long-term memories formed before then remains intact.

Yolanda has a brain tumor and as the brain tumor gets bigger, possibilities are certain that Yolanda part of the brain is being damaged(hippocampus) which result into Anterograde amnesia because the hippocampus plays a vital role in formation of memories.
