Amnesia is the inability to retrieve former memories including facts and experiences and can also affect being able to form new memories. It’s usually the brains way of disassociating from a very traumatic event and most often only affects the short term memory.

Amnesia is another word for memory loss . Two different forms of memory loss have been distinguished: retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia. With retrograde amnesia, you lose your memory from before you developed the condition that caused the memory loss. With anterograde amnesia you cannot remember anything from the moment you become ill.

Maybe not the definition but I use amnesia term when:

Somebody has a problem with learning and remembering new things. Also when a person can not recall some info that was known to him/her.
