Rationale for change

Although cognitive abilities do improve with age during early development, this card is more accurately focused on testing what will either decline or remain stable with age.
While all forms of memory improve in the early years, not all types of memory decline in later life.


My apologies — regarding UWorld question 400381, which this card was tagged with, the question states:

Aging is associated with significant memory decline for all of the following types of memory EXCEPT:
A. Episodic
B. Flashbulb
C. Semantic
D. Source

Reasoning:
Aging is associated with declines in certain types of memory, including episodic, flashbulb, and source memory. However, semantic and procedural memory tend to remain relatively stable with age.

The concepts of improvement and stability are distinct, which is why I believe this card would be improved by making the appropriate adjustments to better reflect the differences.

Please let me know if you need more. Thank you.
