One thing which is typical for people with incipient and moderate dementia is the covering of memory loss by confabulation. Confabulation means essentially that the person fills in the blank spots in his defective memory with made up "facts" and "memories." It is common in late stage alcoholism as well as other forms of progressive dementia.

Biden has been known for making up his own history as he goes along, and for some time. This, and the obvious impairment of impulse control, inappropiate affect, poor judgment displayed by his conduct, suggest defective frontal lobe executive function. His MRI would be very interesting to look at.

When I worked in the ER we had a couple of wino "regulars" who had Korsakoff's Syndrome.They were both absolute train wrecks...as are most street alcoholics.

This is called confabulation which is what alcoholics or people suffering from dementia do.
