On examination, he performs complex, coordinated, but purposeless motor acts (such as wandering aimlessly and continuously buttoning and unbuttoning his shirt). He does not respond appropriately to questions, shows severe narrowing of consciousness with profound disorientation to time and place, and subsequently has total amnesia for the episode.
