Nel linguaggio medico, l'amnesia è un disturbo della memoria a lungo termine episodica. La persona affetta da amnesia può essere incapace di ricordare eventi della sua vita recente, o in casi gravi anche eventi remoti, e può non riuscire ad acquisire stabilmente nuovi ricordi, mentre in genere è preservata la capacità di imparare nuove azioni.
