I’ve reached an age where I am beginning to have noticeable memory loss in one particular area. I can’t remember new names very well at all. You can introduce me to a group of people and I won’t retain anyone’s name for more than a minute or two. I can never remember the names of new actors and actresses. The only other area where I am experiencing this trouble with retention is internet acronyms. I know the short and simple ones. It’s the ones that are five letters or more. I learn them. Then I see them again weeks later and I’ve forgotten what they stand for again. I noticed that my mom had the same kinds of problems in her 40’s where she started getting her kids’ names mixed up all the time. She’s 80 now and seems as sharp as ever, so I hope this is just a genetic quirk in my family. Does anyone else have trouble remembering what things like ICYMI mean?
