There is no definitive answer to say the least.

Anterograde amnesia is caused by inhibition of the hippocampus, fornix and peripheral mammaliary bodies through either physical insults such as surgery or tumors. Or through the use of drugs and alcohol- korsikoffs syndrome.

However with proper cueing from previous memory one can learn to cope with this debilitating and frustrating disorder.

Though there are recent studies into pharmaceuticals which may facilitate this process.
