__________ problems were mild _____________ _________, severe _________
__________ and a __________ __________ problem.
poorly, mirror drawing, implicit, learning, explicit - Answer- H.M did ___________ on

amnesia includes people that typically do well on __________ _______ tests but can
depend on how they are _________/_________ to complete the task. Like H.M. they
have difficulty forming ______ ________ ________ memories but mostly a problem
with __________ ________ memories as opposed to _________. This can be
