As with all forms of memory, Episodic Memory is known to also decline with age. However, it can also be said that biological factors such as one's sex also effects how Episodic memory develops and degrades. In a study done by Lundervold et al., they decided to investigate the possible reasons behind this. Their findings through several longitudinal and cross-sectional studies found that as mentioned that Episodic memory does decrease with age. In regards to sex they found that women tend to have a slightly lower decrease rate of Episodic Memory than men, -.12 compared to -.14 units. They study however didn't go into other variables such as social-economical-status in regards to how this might affect the decrease rates in age and sex.
