Problems with abstract thinking Forgetting completely what number or words are and what needs to be done with them. 7. Misplacing things Putting things in inappropriate places: an iron in the freezer, or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl. 8. Changes in mood or behavior Rapid mood swings from calm to tears to anger for no apparent reason. 9. Changes in personality People's personalities ordinarily change somewhat with age.
