Now we want you to remember what your friend or relative was like two years ago
and to compare that with what he/she is like now. Below are situations where
your friend or relative has to use his/her memory or intelligence, and we would
like you to indicate whether this has improved, stayed the same, or gotten worse
in each situation over the past two years. Note the importance of comparing
his/her present performance with two years ago. So if two years ago your friend
or relative always forgot where things were left, and he/she still does, then
this would be considered "not much change."

things about family and friends, such as occupations, birthdays and addresses?
