Exam 10: Remembering and Forgetting

Patients with a specific form of amnesia have been found to have poor explicit memory for newly presented material compared to a matched control group of participants with no memory disorders, but show implicit memory for the material that is comparable to that of the control group. Based on this finding, which of the following would be expected?
