Annette,
The bit of research I've conducted comparing these two types of amnesia
suggests that they often occur simultaneously, though one is usually more
serious than the other. Also, there is a considerable variations within
both types of amnesia. This leads me to conclude that to compare the
I've been trying to find some statistical data on the relative prevalence
of retro versus anterograde amnesia and have had no luck :-(
I have taught in the past that anterograde is more common but I'm not so
sure about that. It is certainly more devastating in terms of human
functioning, but is it
