Correct Answer: abd
Description: "Korsakoff syndrome is a mental disorder that is characterized by severe and `irreversible' memory impairment' and confabulation behavior in the absence of intellectual decline or attention deficit".
Recent memory is impaired with relative preservation of remote memory.
Lack of insight is a characteristic feature of korsakoff's syndrome.
