Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

H.M. had difficulty forming new memories, so it would have been challenging for him to describe a meal he had on a previous night that he could not remember. He would have been able to recognize that he had a memory problem because it was a long-term memory that was impaired, and he would have been able to speak fluently as his language skills were intact. Details of his childhood would also be a long-term memory and therefore not affected by his amnesia.
