I agree, character development will be difficult, basing it primarily on new experiences.
I think it would be somewhat more like a person with amnesia triggered by a traumatic event. They still retain many personality traits, but can't remember a thing about anything beyond a fixed point in time.
They may be making more instinct based decisions without really knowing fully WHY they feel as they do about a situation.
It would be interesting to see if their "instincts" conflicted with what would seem to be a reasonable choice; and how they reconcile the conflict. Does that seem clear? It came out weird, can't think of another way to say it.
