Answer 1

Answer:

Retrograde amnesia, acoustic coding

Explanation:

Retrograde amnesia: This term is related to the memory of an event. In this term, a person forgets the memory before occurring the events. But the individual can encode and memorize the memory after the onset of an event. There are many types of amnesia that occurs with an individual like global amnesia.  

Acoustic coding: This term is related to comprehension and meaning whatever you hear. To repeat the words and putting that information into a form of the song is acoustic coding. Learning of the tables is a good example of acoustic coding.
