(Tip-of-the-tongue that never arrives)
Struggling for common words — “the thing you cut with” instead of “knife.”
Other clues:
- Stopping mid-sentence, unable to continue
- Repeating the same story word-for-word in minutes
- Trouble following conversations or TV plots

Warning signs:
- Forgetting how to use the microwave
- Getting lost driving home from the grocery store
- Unable to balance the checkbook they managed perfectly for decades
