if someone faces the same situation several times and does not remember, will their choices be different?

Say a person is put through an exact moment over and over again, but does not have recollection of the previous times. The exact same scenario in every way, and a choice is to be made in that scenario. Every time the situation repeats, the person has to come up with a solution to their situation, do they not? So each time they choose, could the outcome not be different? Even without prior knowledge of having been in this scenario?

    That's difficult to quantify as an absolute certainly. However my opinion is that if the circumstance and person is exactly the same, then the decision made will be repeated each time. If very slight variables are possible then that could alter that decision though.

    There is always more than one option but, if the circumstances are exactly the same in each scenario, how can you not expect the subject being more likely to choose the same options?
