Anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to form new memories. Alcoholic blackout, benzodiazepine-induced amnesia and transient global amnesia are three disorders that result in acute transient memory loss. These disorders may be difficult to recognize, because the memory loss is not usually accompanied by other symptoms of neurologic impairment.
