SHOW CARD C7  
Now we want you to remember what [^name] was like [^two years ago and to compare it with what [^he /  
she] is like now. [^BLANK / Two years ago was in 2010/11]. I will read out situations where [^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 / since [^<date of last interview>]]. Note  
the importance of comparing [^name's] present performance with [^two years ago / when we last talked  
to you on [^date of last interview]]. So if [^two years ago / when we last talked to you on [^<date of last  
interview>]] [^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.
