Question

Gwendolyn is held up at knifepoint and her young son is kidnapped. Eventually, her son is found and returned. However, she is unable to recall events that occurred since the attack, although she remembers some new experiences; worse still, she finds that she is forgetting events that occurred even before the attack. This is a classic example of ______ amnesia.

Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be "Generalized".

Step-by-step explanation:

Amnesia corresponds to either the memory problems, including data, knowledge, and perceptions.

• Though losing your identification seems to be a frequent narrative device in films and tv, in actual-life amnesia this is usually not a problem.
• Generalized Amnesia would be when the amnesia or memory loss of a person covers his or her whole life, including their personality.

So that the given scenario is the example of such type of Generalized Amnesia.
