Topic 5.6
What supports episodic memories being more susceptible to distortion over time than semantic memories?
Episodic memories are more resistant to interference from similar information.
Episodic memories involve personal experiences that can be influenced by biases and perceptions over time.
Semantic memories depend heavily on our perception at the moment of encoding.
Episodic memories are less often recalled and therefore maintained better than semantic memory.
