There are two types of amnesia, retrograde and antrograde.
Retrograde amnesia is the type of amnesia where someone is unable to recall events which happened before the amnesia occurred. A person with retrograde amnesia will be able to remember everything after the accident but will not remember anything before.
Antrograde amnesia is the type of amnesia where the person can remember everything before the accident but cannot remember anything which happens after the accident for a long period of time. People with antrograde amnesia are unable to create new memories.
