The famous research subject H.M. developed a form of amnesia following surgery to treat his epilepsy. Following the surgery, H.M
A) could not recall any memories from before the surgery.
B) could form no new long-term memories of any kind.
C) could form nondeclarative, but generally not declarative long-term memories.
D) could form episodic, but generally not procedural long-term memories.
Answer: C
Rationale: H.M. was a famous patient with anterograde amnesia. Research indicated that he could not consolidate new declarative long-term memories, but his ability to recall memories formed before this surgery was—generally speaking—not affected. Also left intact was H.M.'s ability to learn new nondeclarative memories.
