Mrs Aris is in her late 60s and recently retired. She has been experiencing some cognitive difficulties. She finds that if someone tells her a phone number or a short shopping list, she forgets it within seconds unless she repeats it to herself constantly. While she can vividly recall events from her childhood and accurately play complex classical pieces she learned decades ago, she cannot seem to remember the name of her daughter's new puppy, which they adopted last week.
