In the past year, 58-year-old Alan has experienced some lapses in memory. He sometimes forgets where he has put his car keys, it may take him a few minutes to recall the name of someone he met on the golf course last week, and it takes him longer to balance his checkbook than it used to. Is Alan showing signs of dementia or normal age-related forgetfulness?
