SHOW CARD I  
Now we want you to remember what ^respondent’s name was like two  
years ago and to compare it with what ^he/she is like now. Two years  
ago was in 2000. I will read out situations where ^respondent’s name  
has to use ^his/her memory or intelligence and we want you to  
indicate whether this has improved, stayed the same or got worse in  
that situation over the past two years. Note the importance of  
comparing ^respondent’s name’s present performance with two years  
ago. So if two years ago ^respondent’s name always forgot where  
^he/she had left things, and ^he/she still does, then this would be  
considered 'Hasn`t changed much'. Please indicate the changes you  
have observed giving the appropriate answer from the card.
