Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maurice's strange sense of familiarity with the city's landmarks suggests that he may have experienced déjà vu, a feeling of having already experienced a current situation. This would be the most appropriate answer since anterograde amnesia and proactive interference do not involve familiarity with the environment, and positive transfer refers to the use of previous knowledge or skills to learn something new, which is not quite what Maurice is experiencing.
