The correct answer is anterograde amnesia.

When it comes to amnesia, there are two important types: retrograde and anterograde. When it comes to retrograde amnesia, the patient is unable to remember anything from the past, which is not the case in the example above. On the other hand, when it comes to anterograde amnesia, the patient can remember his or her past life memories, but cannot form new ones, as is the case with Sherrod.
