Um, you can't really - because symptoms vary - i.e. MOST people with anterograde amnesia still respond to conditioning; so someone faking it might not - but then that might be due to a separate problem in the brain. And MOST people retain motor skills with retrograde amnesia. But not necassarily all (i.e. there was a case where the suspected a student of faking because he'd forgotten how to ride a bike and swim; but they couldn't prove anything).How would u be able to tell if a person was faking anterograde amnesia? retrograde amnesia?

I'm still leaerning the dynamics of my brains ability to think as opposed to my minds ability to remember

the above distinction was conjured after reading "Operation Manual for Spaceship Earth
