Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clive's inability to retain new information suggests that his memory storage process was impaired, as he was unable to encode new information into long-term memory. Perception involves the initial processing of information from the senses, transfer involves moving information from one memory system to another, and retrieval involves accessing stored information. None of these processes are specifically impaired in Clive's case.
