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?
