Stage 3: Others Begin To Notice Change Mild decline will begin with changes in how we respond to high-demand situations and others may notice and let us know.
Stage 4: You Notice A Change in Your Ability to Plan Complex tasks become more challenging. We may forget how to turn on the DVD player, or how to drive to a familiar place, and we haven’t had that happen before.
