Understand the concept of anterograde amnesia: It is a condition where an individual is unable to form new memories following the onset of the condition.
Identify the common causes of anterograde amnesia: These typically include physical brain injuries, such as concussions, which can disrupt the brain's ability to process and store new information.
Evaluate the options given: Decay, suggestion, and hypnosis are not typically associated with causing anterograde amnesia. Decay refers to the fading of memories over time, suggestion involves influencing someone's memory or perception, and hypnosis is a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility.
Recognize that a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that can lead to anterograde amnesia by damaging the brain regions responsible for memory formation.
Conclude that among the given options, a concussion is the most plausible cause of anterograde amnesia, as it directly affects the brain's ability to form new memories.
