Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Now we want you to remember what your friend or relative was like [10 years] ago and to compare it with what he/she is like now. Ten years ago was in 1996. Below are situations where this person 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 [10 years]. Note the importance of comparing his/her present performance with [10 years] ago.
For example, if [10 years] ago this person always forgot where he/she had left things, and he/she still does, then this would be considered "not much change".
