Recent forgetfulness

The inability to recall and relive what happened recently is called recent forgetfulness. Also called retrograde amnesia. Normal events are easier to recall in the near future, but not in the distance. Memory forgetting caused by cerebral organic diseases is often the forgetting of recent events rather than distant events, which is called the law of memory regression.
