Answer to Question 1

Answer: Anterograde amnesia is the inability to consciously remember information after brain damage. Retrograde amnesia is the inability to remember information that occurred before brain damage.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The levels-of-processing theory suggests that processing occurs on a continuum from shallow to deep processing. Shallow processing tends to center around perceptual or structural aspects of the incoming information while deep processing focuses on the meaning or semantic aspects of the incoming information. In generally, deeper levels of processing result in better recall.
