Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage does not provide any information about the patient's performance on the Brown-Peterson task or the presence of retrograde amnesia. However, it does indicate that the patient had reasonable learning, memory, and comprehension despite the grossly defective STS. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
