I could be totally wrong but, I'm pretty sure that that's just a normal aspect of aging. Every single person I know has experienced some level of cognitive decline with age. The name thing is especially common, I find. So I wouldn't go around thinking you have Alzheimers in your family unless you have more reason to think it.

- anjc 11y agoAgh same here. First my mother's mother did it when I was a child, then my own mother, and now I'm at it. I've often wondered if there's a learned-behaviour aspect to it, because I've been anticipating it happening to me since I noticed my mother doing it.
