Module 5 Lesson 2. Memory loss 1. What is memory loss? People with dementia will increasingly lose their memory over time. In the beginning, they may forget recent events, where they put their keys, their wallet or a particular piece of paper. They find it harder to remember phone numbers, important dates and appointments. However, past memories, such as childhood memories, are often preserved for a longer period of time. 1. Activity Does the person you care for sometimes forget things? If so, what kinds of things do they forget? Please write them down.Save
