I suppose not, since both of those examples would be considered long-term memories. Though there are other ways to categorize memories though, like episodic memory, or semantic memory. I don't think we can conclusively say why some memories are affected in disease and others aren't, but there is an idea that some neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's disease) don't progress evenly throughout the brain, and might start in a specific area and progress into other areas later. So if there are some areas of the brain that are more important for certain types of memories, and the disease develops there first, then those will be the first memories affected. For example, if a disease starts in the hippocampus, which is particularly important for place memory, then maybe the first noticeable memory problems would be increasingly forgetting where things are.
