I'm so confused about all this. According to my text book it says memory declines can be experienced in the Declarative memory systems ( episodic and semantic). So if you rule out episodic for that reason...shouldn't you rule out semantic?

Both semantic and episodic memory decline with ageing, but they decline at different rates. The textbook states that episodic memory has a steady rate of decline, yet both semantic and procedural memories are fairly resistant to ageing.
