Retrograde and anterograde amnesia

Explain the difference between retrograde and anterograde amnesia. If you were to develop amnesia, which type would you rather have and why? Be sure to explain your reasoning behind your answer and include relevant information from the chapter. Then, think of a time you saw amnesia portrayed in a movie or TV show. Do you think the representation of amnesia in this movie/TV show matches up to what you learned from the book? Why or why not? Note: If you do not have an example from a movie/TV show to discuss, you can’t fully answer the question and should choose to respond to the other question.
