Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Use of episodic knowledge, which relies on the recall of specific instances or events, may lead to participants only remembering certain parts of an experience and forgetting the rest. This can affect the accuracy of their reports. The other answer choices are incorrect. A increase in the amount of time elapsed may actually decrease the accuracy of experiential knowledge. Closed-ended questions may be helpful in some situations and individuals may report multiple emotions during a study.
