Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text notes that older adults experience more decline in their episodic memories than in their semantic memories. Table 16-6 lists the degree of decline associated with each type or function of memory. This table lists the declines in sensory and short-term memory as slight to none, the decline in semantic memory as minimal, and notes that episodic memory does decline with age, although this may be due to slower processing speed.
