Amnesia

Amnesia was the (usually temporary) loss of memory.

Instances of amnesia

When Time Lords met their past and future selves under certain controlled circumstances, the younger versions often had their memories of the experience erased. The First and Second Doctors explicitly had their memories wiped by the other Time Lords after the first confrontation with Omega (TV: The Three Doctors, PROSE: The Empire of Glass), and the War and Tenth Doctors lost their memories of working with the Eleventh Doctor to draw up a peace treaty with the Zygons and save Gallifrey as timelines were out of sync and they would be unable to retain it. However, it was strongly implied that the Seventh Doctor always remembered the Fifth Doctor's encounter with the Ferutu from his perspective (PROSE: Cold Fusion (novel), AUDIO: Cold Fusion), and at least the first five Doctors retained clear memories of meeting the amnesic Eighth Doctor (PROSE: The Eight Doctors).

(TV: The Edge of Destruction)

As partly mechanical life-forms, Daleks could suffer from memory loss if the appropriate cybernetic components were damaged. When the Dalek that would become the High Priest of the Elite crash-landed on Florana in the distant past, it initially had trouble remembering the Doctor and the TARDIS when it was disconnected from its usual casing, the casing too damaged to sustain the Dalek on its own for long, although it soon identified both when it was returned to its casing for a short time (AUDIO: The Elite). When the Eighth Doctor fled the starship Theseus with a group of human survivors and crash-landed on a jungle planet with a damaged Dalek, he was able to convince the battered Dalek that its name was 'Dal' and that it was the humans' ally, Dal using its sensors to help the Doctor guide the refugees to a temporal safe zone established on the planet by the Time Lords, although Dal was destroyed before the Doctor could determine if he had been able to convince Dal to change on its own (AUDIO: Echoes of War). When Oswin Oswald accessed the Daleks' cyber-network, she was able to delete all knowledge of the Doctor from all Daleks, although they eventually remembered him again during the Siege of Trenzalore when the Daleks hacked the records of the The Church and learned about the Doctor from those (TV: Asylum of the Daleks, The Time of the Doctor).
