		Wasterlain (1971) noted that shrinkage of retrograde amnesia is seldom seen in patients with a short period of pretraumatic amnesia and pointed to this feature as one of a set of markers that distinguished those head injury patients with a short preictal amnesia from those with a more prolonged retrograde amnesia.

		Retrograde amnesia is seldom inclusive for public facts or the entirety of an individuals life, for the remote past appears to be better preserved than the more recent past in these cases (Squire, 1992).
		Moreover, rather than a shrinking retrograde amnesia, in some cases (such as in fugue states) the forgotten memories (which may include almost all of the individuals prior life and childhood) may be quite suddenly recovered almost in total (Janet, 1927; Myers, 1903; Nemiah, 1979; Prince, 1939; see also chapters 29, 30).
		Indeed, regardless of the etiology of the amnesia, although it is often presumed that the memory (such as memories at the moment of impact) was not formed, and that other memories were erased, this is not always the case.
