Mike, the patient with amnestic disorder, has difficulty with new learning. This is a common symptom of amnestic disorders, which specifically affect a person's ability to form new memories or learn new information. Old memories may still be intact, and the patient may be able to recall events from the past, but new memories cannot be formed or retained. The other options (old memories, word retrieval, and reading and writing) are not specific symptoms of amnestic disorder.
