Claparède's classic demonstration involved a Korsakoff's amnesia patient who could not remember experiences that happened shortly before. However, the patient's behavior and reactions could still be influenced by these events, even though they had no memory of them. This showed that memory and behavior are not always directly linked, and that memory can be dissociated from other cognitive processes. Option B is incorrect because Korsakoff's amnesiacs typically have more severe anterograde amnesia (difficulty forming new memories) than retrograde amnesia (difficulty remembering past events). Option C is also incorrect because Korsakoff's amnesiacs do not have extraordinary abilities to recall future plans. Option D is inaccurate as clinicians have not theorized about the organization of behavior in Korsakoff's amnesia patients.
