To describe: The way in which studying amnesia helps to understand memory.
Introduction: The process of acquiring knowledge and skills based on the result of previous experiences is called as “learning.” The process by which brain encodes, stores, and retrieves the information or learned skills is known as “memory”. Many kinds of biological and neural activities take place to gain knowledge and store it in the form of memory.

Explanation of Solution
The anterograde amnesia is a condition in which an individual is unable to form new memories after a brain damage and a condition called retrograde amnesia in which individuals are unable to recollect or to remember events before the brain damage. The extension of retrograde amnesia depends on the amount of damage of specific structures. Thereby, studying of amnesia helps to understand memory.
