### Analyses for Characteristics Associated with the Type of Memory
#### 3.3.1 Results for Epoch 1  
In epoch 1 the analysis of the details connected to the different types of memory revealed that details regarding location, participation of self, and other participants were more frequent in SEpE than in the other memory types (Table 4).  
Significant differences in rate of occurrence were found for activity (Chi\({}^{2}\)(q) = 29.46; \(p<0.001\)) and location (Chi\({}^{2}\)(q) = 8.78; \(p=0.032\)). No significant differences were found for emotion (Chi\({}^{2}\)(q) = 6.56; \(p=0.087\)), presence of self (Chi\({}^{2}\)(q) = 5.27; \(p=0.153\)) and other participants (Chi\({}^{2}\)(q) = 1.50; \(p=0.683\)). The frequency distributions related to location, presence of self and other participants tend to increase according to the complexity of the memory; for these details highest frequency of these aspects is associated with the single episode event. Location showed the highest frequency associated to Episodic Fragment, whereas emotion with Repeated Episode (see Table 4). No significant gender effect on memory types was found (Chi\({}^{2}\)(q) = 6.35; \(p=0.096\)). As showed in Table 5, most of the male memories were Single Episodic Events (60.9%) and the least reported type of memory were
