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?
They do forget things like that towards the end. Dementia’s a rather slow process, you get worse year after year, and after a few years there’s not really a lot left of your memory. If it goes on for long enough, the brain doesn’t even remember how to eat or breathe.
