 AB    The study explored encoding, storage, and retrieval components of memory
       functioning in four groups of subjects: (1) normal elderly; (2) elderly
       subjects in the early prestages of DAT; (3) elderly subjects with a more
       advanced DAT; (4) younger subjects in the early prestages of AIDS
       dementia. Each group consisted of 26 subjects, who were administered the
       Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test. The results suggest impaired encoding
       and retrieval in the DAT groups. The AIDS group demonstrated deficient
       storage and retrieval. Their pattern of memory deficits was similar to
       that seen in normal aging. The results speak in favor of the hypothesis
       of subcortical nature of neurological changes in normal aging.
