Memory Aids are prostheses designed to assist people with difficulties remembering information to manage
their personal lives. Anterograde amnesia is a memory deficit that impairs an individual’s ability to form
and retain new information after a brain injury. Memories before the injury can be recalled, but amnesics
have difficulty storing new memories. Disorientation is a major problem. Caregivers can cue amnesics, but alone,
the results can be devastating.
