ANS: C
Retrograde amnesia is manifested by loss of past personal history memories or past factual mem-ories. In selective memory deficit, the person reports inability to focus attention and has failure to perceive objects and other stimuli. Anterograde amnesia is a loss of the ability to form new mem-ories. Executive memory deficit involves the failure to stay alert and oriented to stimuli.
