Why do people with dementia forget things like people/events, but not things like the alphabet or relatively simple grammar? Or do they, and it’s just not really shown in western media?

My grandma has declined to the point where she is basically a newborn. No ability to speak or think critically. She is unable to do anything other than lay in a bed and be cared for. She is only able to make sounds like a baby would and flail around some. This is something that you don’t see on media at all. My grandma has Alzheimer’s specifically which is a form of dementia.
