The Temporal Gradient of Long-Term Memory (LTM) Sometimes Seen in Amnesia

question 8

Short Answer

The temporal gradient of long-term memory (LTM) sometimes seen in amnesia patients has been proposed to support which of the following:
A.Damage that happens at a younger age is related to more anterograde deficits because the brain is still developing
B.Newer (more recent) memories formed before the damage are lost first because they are less stable
C.Older memories are lost more because of increased decay than more recently formed memories
D.The temporal gradient is only seen when the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus is damaged
