After studying the memory difficulties of H.M. and patients like him, it became apparent that

A) Nondeclarative memories cannot be retained but declarative memories can be recalled normally.
B) Incoming sensory information bypasses the sensory memory causing severe memory deficits.
C) The ability to transfer declarative information from STM into LTM is intact.
D) The ability to bring information from long-term memory into working memory is intact.

Answer: D
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 bring previously formed long-term memories to mind was—generally speaking—not affected. Also left intact was H.M.'s ability to learn new nondeclarative memories.
