Of the following, which is not an accurate account of memory retrieval for an individual with dissociative amnesia?

Answer
A
Memories can be recalled by a trigger in one’s surroundings.
B
Temporary retrieval may be fragments of painful episodes.
C
Memories may be retrieved slowly over time.
D
Memories are permanently buried in the subconscious.

Explanation

Dissociative amnesia involves difficulty recalling important personal information, but the memories are not necessarily permanently buried in the subconscious. They may become accessible through environmental triggers, emerge gradually, or return in fragments. Therefore, the claim that they are permanently buried is not accurate.
