Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anterograde amnesia is a type of memory impairment that affects the ability to form new declarative memories, which are memories that can be consciously recalled, such as facts or events. However, non-declarative or implicit memory, which is used for skills and habits, is generally preserved or only minimally impaired in patients with anterograde amnesia. Therefore, patients with anterograde amnesia show deficits in explicit memory but not non-declarative memory, making choice B the best answer.
